You know, sometimes, just sometimes, there are those who confuse me with that other Eros. You know the one, right? That golden one born alongside, Nyx, Erebos, and Gaia. Well, I can understand the confusion, but I am sure he would be offended at the comparison. My great great grandmother, Gaia told me many tales of him as I sat up on her earthen surface. Many pairings would not have seen the light of day nor would many creations that made her earth livable for gods and mortals alike, been produced.

Yes, I can ignite love and repel but it is only a shadow of his power and would that we were directly related, we are not. Aphrodite (my mother) set me straight; that hussy, Penia (Poverty), was definitely not my true mother nor was Eros.

So if you were pondering the beauty that is my great-great grandmother and wondered the how’s and why’s of the force behind creation, you have him partially to thank.
