  Lares - LoveToKnow 1911
The attempt to harmonize the Stoic demonology with Roman religion led to the Lares being compared with the Greek "heroes" during the period of Greco-Roman culture, and the word is frequently translated ilpcoEs.
Such events were the birthday of the head of the household; the assumption of the toga virilis by a son; the festival of the Caristia in memory of deceased members of the household; recovery from illness; the entry of a young bride into the house for the first time; return home after a long absence.
The old view that the Lares were the deified ancestors of the family has been rejected lately by Wissowa, who holds that the Lar was originally the protecting spirit of a man's lot of arable land, with a shrine at the compitum, i.e.

 Link To Puerto Rico.com - Lares
The name Lares (LAH-res) is derived from the Basque names "laris" or "lariz" determined by the presence in the region of don Amador Lariz, a colonizer of the sixteeth century that owned a ranch in the area.
Thus, the municipal flag of Lares is none other than the historical flag proposed by the patriarch Dr. Ramon Emeterio Betances for the Republic of Puerto Rico, and that has been named "Flag of Lares" due to the fact that it had been hoisted by the revolutionaries on September 23, 1868.
The honorable Municipal Assembly of Lares in 1952 approved a resolution proclaiming this flag the official flag of the Municipality of Lares.

 Lares - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
Lares (pl.) (also called Genii loci or, more archaically, Lases) were Roman deities protecting the house and the family - household gods.
Lares are presumed sons of Hermes and Lara, and deeply venerated by ancient Romans through small statues, usually put in higher places of the house, far from the floor, or even on the roof (but some statues were also on some crossings of roads).
Over time, their power was extended over houses, country, sea, cities, etc., as the Lares became conflated with other Roman deities and protective spirits.

 Lares | Encyclopedia of Religion
A fragment of the Proceedings of the Arval Brotherhood (Inscriptiones Latinae selectae 9522) and a fourth- to third-century BCE dedication to the lar Aeneas indicate that the "mother of the lares" was a chthonic deity and that common ancestors were believed to be lares.
The Dionysian religion clearly exerted an influence upon the lares cult because both Dionysos and the lares were meant to connect and harmonize the world of life and the world of death.
The lares were deified souls, and Greek deification was celebrated by a Dionysian triumphal parade from earth to Olympus, whereby the lares were conceived as drinking wine, wearing crowns, and sometimes accompanying satyrs.
