Here is a little Mythology on whom many of us do not even know? This is Eros, the God of Love!!!
Myth1: In Greek mythology Eros, God Of Love in all its manifestations. According to some legends he was one of the oldest of the gods born from CHAOS but personifying harmony. In most stories he was the son of Aphrodite(Greek/Goddess of Love) and Ares(Greek/God of war) and was represented as a winged youth armed with a bow and arrows. In Roman mythology, under the name 'Cupid', he was the naked infant son and companion of Venus(Latin/Goddess of Love).
Myth2: Eros, God of Love was born out of Chaos. He is the most
beautiful of the many of the gods. His gold tipped arrows cause those hit to fall in love.
Often blindfolded to represent love is often blind.
Myth3: EROS was the god of love in Greek mythology. He was represented as one of the primeval forces of nature, the son of Chaos, and the embodiment
of the harmony and creative power in the universe. Soon, however, he was thought of as a
handsome and intense young man, attended by Pothos ("longing") or Himeros("desire"). Later mythology made him the constant attendant of his mother, Aphrodite, goddess of love.
Myth4: In Greek art Eros was depicted as a winged youth, slight but beautiful, often with eyes covered to symbolize the blindness of love. Sometimes he
carried a flower, but more commonly a golden bow and arrows, with which he shot darts of desire into the bosoms of gods and men.
Myth5: Eros was a small boy who never grew up. He had a bow and a set
of two arrows. One of the arrows, if shot into the heart, would cause an undying love. The
other arrow produced an undying indifference. Eros often amused himself by shooting one
person with the love arrow and another person with the indifference arrow and making sure
they met. Eros would then stand by, laughing, as the love-struck person would spend their
life in persuit of the indifferent one. Eros was considered to be the son of Aphrodite and
Hermes although some legend describe him as being born at the beginning of Earth. The
Romans renamed him Cupid(Latin/God of Love&Desire).
