Aphrodite is the Olympian goddess of love, beauty, sexual pleasure, fertility and procreation. She is regularly attended by few of her children, the Erotes, who are capable of stirring up passion in both mortals and gods at the goddess will. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus. She is identified with the planet Venus.
Eros – known as Cupid to the Romans – was the Greek god of sexual attraction, a constant companion of Aphrodite. Variously depicted as either a beautiful youth or a mischievous nude boy, Eros is most commonly represented with a bow and an unlimited number of arrows which he uses to overpower the reason and incite erotic feelings in any mortal or god per Aphrodite’s or his own wish. Once, though, he accidentally scraped himself with an arrow – and that’s how he fell in love with Psyche, who will later become his wife for eternity.
