The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology

Eros (Ερως) was the god of erotic love in Greek mythology. He was also a minion and constant companion of the goddess Aphrodite (goddess of love). His role in myths is mostly complementary; he often appeared in the presence of Aphrodite and the other love gods and often acted as a catalyst for people to fall in love, but had little unique mythology of his own; the most major exception to that being the myth of Eros and Psyche (goddess of the soul), the story of how he met and fell in love with his wife. Aphrodite was jealous of Psyche and her beauty, as men were leaving her altars barren to worship a mere human woman instead. So she commanded Eros, to make Psyche fall in love with the ugliest creature on earth. But instead, he fell in love with her and spirited her away to his home. Their fragile peace was soon ruined by a visit from Psyche's jealous sisters, who caused her to betray the trust of her husband. Wounded, Eros left his wife, and Psyche wandered the Earth, looking for her lost love. Eventually, she approached Aphrodite and asked for her help. Aphrodite imposed a series of difficult tasks on Psyche, which she was able to achieve by means of supernatural assistance. After successfully completing these tasks, Aphrodite relented and Psyche became immortal and lived alongside Eros. Together they had a daughter named Hedone (goddess of pleasure).

Eros and Psyche

I know the story of Eros and Psyche is often told through Psyche's POV, but can you imagine the same story told from Eros's.

This God of Love, who's never actually been in love before, but constantly harasses/bothers mortals and immortals alike, suddenly falls in love. And only then does he realize what he's been doing to others for centuries. Love this beautiful and terrifying thing. It makes him happy and miserable all at the same time. He doesn't want/need it but at the same time refuses to let it go.

So he asks Apollo what he sees in the future. Apollo, who hates Eros for the grief he's caused him, tells him the truth- that if Eros were to continue loving her, she would try and find his true nature and betray him, and ultimately would die herself.

Eros determined to never let this happen, but unable to let her go, decides to take her as his wife but never let her know who he is. He keeps her from the rest of the world, not wanting any harm to come to her.

"The God of love is kneeling at our feet.

Though we betray Him, though it is the night.

He meets us here and loves us into light."
