Because of the difficult vocabulary and context of the reading, it was a little hard for me to understand and grasp the main points of the reading. However, this is what I was able to understand from the article:
Eros, the God of love notes:
Translation means love and also stands for sexual desire.
There are three kinds of Erotes:
the Eros of the ancient cosmogonies,
the Eros of the philosophers and mysteries
the Eros whom we meet with in the epigrammatic and erotic poets, whose witty and playful descriptions of the god.
EROS was the Protogenos of sexual desire who emerged at the very creation of the universe. He was the driving force behind procreation in nature
Was also a mishcaeveous god of love
Today common cupid symbol
the driving force behind procreation
Younger Eros=son of the goddess Aphrodite.
