EROS

Eros was the Greek god of sexual love (traditionally of homosexual relationships between older men and youths). By some accounts Eros was born from Chaos, in other accounts that he was the son of Aphrodite and her lover Ares. Eros developed in form through time, being a god of fertility and later with the Romans, in the form of Cupid, of more gentle romantic love
