Eros (AKA Cupid- by the Romans) was the Greek god of Lust, Love & Sex. He was the son of Aphrodite. And although not one of the more powerful gods, he was by no means a minor god. According to Plato in his famed"Symposium", Eros was the most important god for his role as medium between the earthly and heavenly spheres. Eros, or love or desire, is the force that prompts the Philosopher to seek and ultimately gain knowledge. Hence, without Eros, earth-bound men and women would be unable to reach into the true ideas "floating just above their heads".
