I think it is really simple. Most mortals aren't going to question a god, so why should I god have to lie to them to get that mortal to do what they want done? Most mortals would just do it regards because Hey, it is a higher being telling them to do it.

As for Ares, if any gods should lie, he should be the one. And he says he doesn't lie, that is probably a lie. Gods don't need to lie most of the time, but I'm sure times when they need to lie and will lie to protect themselves from something they are under threat too, be it a more powerful god or what not. So if a mortal threatened a god I could see a god lying in order to manipulate the situation so that the situation is back in the gods hands. However they just don't need to lie most of the time, so why bother when you can pretty much tell someone what you want and they will do it, just because of the fact that you are a god. So maybe Ares didn't come out and just plain lie but I am pretty sure there is a line that he says somewhere to some character where he says something like "So I lied!" or something, I will have to look it up....maybe it was on Hercules or I could have read it in fanfiction so I definately have to look it up. But does that really matter if he did or not? He does deceive and there is a fine line between deceit and lying.
