Ares’s Little man cave or Ares' Little man cave? His name is pronounced without saying the “s”.

If it's not pronounced, it's not written. That's the (almost perfect) rule that I teach kids. There are 100s of 'rules' you can create, but if you find the owner and add ', then put the s on if you sound it, you'll not go far wrong.
