Copy of a work of the 4th cent. B.C. In Greek mythology, Eros was the Greek god of sexual attraction. His Roman counterpart was Cupid ("desire"). Some myths make him a primordial god, while in other myths, he is the son of Aphrodite. He was one of the winged love gods, Erotes. This object is part of "Scan The World".
