Minor Greek God Eros




Eros : was the god of sexual drive. Eros is known as the first-born and the only child, but nobody really is certain whom Eros’s parents are. According to some scholars, he was born from Erebus and Nyx. In later mythology they came to the decision that he was the offspring of Aphrodite and Ares. Eros being bitter and sweet was also cruel to his victims. The Romans borrowed Eros and renamed him Cupid. (Meaning Desire) Eros finally married Psyche after he accidentally pricked himself with one of his arrows.
