Ares committing SUICIDE by telling Diana she is the god killer


He just had to say: your sword is destroyed, there is no way you can kill me now, so join me or die

At that point, wasn't he still hoping that they could team up instead of fighting to the death?

If so, telling her that she was a demigoddess rather than just am Amazon might have accomplished that. Her heart was full of grief and anger at humans, it was possible that at that point she would have been willing to say "Screw the mortals", and the two of them could go off and breed a new race of Gods.

If so, telling her about her powers was a calculated risk, but, I must say, it was unwisely phrased.

That's a very logical way to look at it. Well said.

Yeah, I also thought it was counterproductive of Ares to tell her the truth about her nature, but your explanation is a good one.
