EROS ~ THE GREEK GOD OF LOVE


Eros (Cupid) is the God of Love, Sex, Eroticism and Sensual Desires.

In Theogony , Eros is listed as one of the primal Gods of the generation after Chaos, the originator. He is the most handsome of the immortals and can break the will of the wisest God or the strongest mortal when they are hit by one of His arrows.
With these arrows made of gold and lead, He wounds the hearts of mortals and Olympians alike. The golden arrows inspire love and the lead arrows cause distaste. In Theogony , it’s said emphatically that 'Eros is Love’.
