Anteros, popularly called Eros, by Alfred Gilbert, 1885; from the Shaftesbury Memorial in Piccadilly Circus

In Ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Erotes (Шаблон:IPAc-en; Шаблон:Lang-grc, érōtes) are a collective of winged gods associated with love and sexual intercourse. They are part of Aphrodite's retinue. Erotes is the plural of Eros ("Love, Desire"), who as a singular deity has a more complex mythology.

Other named Erotes are Anteros ("Love Returned"),[1] Hedylogos ("Sweet-talk"), Hermaphroditus ("Hermaphrodite" or "Effeminate"), Himeros ("Impetuous Love" or "Pressing Desire"), Hymenaios ("Bridal-Hymn"), and Pothos ("Desire, Longing", especially for one who is absent).[2] Шаблон:Multiple image

The Erotes became a motif of Hellenistic art, and may appear in Roman art in the alternate form of multiple Cupids or Cupids and Psyches. In the later tradition of Western art, Erotes become indistinguishable from figures also known as Cupids, amorini, or amoretti.[3][4]

General role and attributes

The Erotes are a group of winged gods in Classical mythology. They are associated with love and sexual desire, and form part of Aphrodite's retinue. The individual Erotes are sometimes linked to particular aspects of love, and are often associated with same-sex desire.Шаблон:Refn Sometimes the Erotes are regarded as manifestations of a singular god, Eros.[5]Шаблон:Rp

Stories of the Erotes' mischief or pranks were a popular theme in Hellenistic culture, particularly in the 2nd century BCE.[6] Spells to attract or repel Erotes were used, in order to induce love or the opposite.[7] Different Erotes represented various facets of love or desire, such as unrequited love (Himeros), mutual love (Anteros) or longing (Pothos).[8]Шаблон:Rp

The Erotes were usually portrayed as nude, handsome, winged youths.[8]Шаблон:Rp The earliest known sculptured friezes depicting a group of Erotes and winged maidens driving chariots pulled by goats, were created to decorate theatres in ancient Greece in the 2nd century BCE.[9]Шаблон:Rp The representation of Erotes in such friezes became common, including Erotes in hunting scenes.[9]Шаблон:Rp Due to their role in the classical mythological pantheon, the Erotes' representation is sometimes purely symbolic (indicating some form of love) or they may be portrayed as individual characters.[10] The presence of Erotes in otherwise non-sexual images, such as of two women, has been interpreted to indicate a homoerotic subtext.[10] In the cult of Aphrodite in Anatolia, iconographic images of the goddess with three Erotes symbolized the three realms over which she had dominion: the Earth, sky, and water.[11]

Retinue members

Groups of numerous Erotes are portrayed in ancient Greek and Roman art. In addition, a number of named gods have been regarded as Erotes, sometimes being assigned particular associations with aspects of love.

Anteros

Шаблон:Main article

Anteros (Greek: Ἀντέρως, Antérōs) was the god of requited love, literally "love returned" or "counterpart love". He punished those who scorned love and the advances of others, and was the avenger of unrequited love.[12] Anteros was the son of Ares and Aphrodite in Greek mythology, and given to his brother Eros as a playmate because Eros was lonely. In another version, Anteros arose from mutual feelings between Poseidon and Nerites.[13] Physically, Anteros was depicted as similar to Eros in every way, though sometimes with longer hair and butterfly wings.Шаблон:Citation needed He has been described as armed with either a golden club or arrows of lead.Шаблон:Citation needed

In later myths, he was the son of the deities Aphrodite and Ares: It is the Eros of these later myths who is one of the erotes. Eros was associated with athleticism, with statues erected in gymnasia,[8]Шаблон:Rp and "was often regarded as the protector of homosexual love between men."[8]Шаблон:Rp Eros was depicted as often carrying a lyre or bow and arrow. He was also depicted accompanied by dolphins, flutes, roosters, roses, and torches.[14] [8]Шаблон:Rp

Hedylogos

Шаблон:Main article

Hedylogos or Hedylogus (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was the god of sweet-talk and flattery. He is not mentioned in any surviving literature, but he is depicted on ancient Greek vase paintings.

Hermaphroditus

Шаблон:Main article

Hermaphroditus was the god of hermaphrodites, effeminacy and androgyny. He was the son of Hermes and Aphrodite. Born a remarkably handsome boy but after the water nymph Salmacis fell in love with him and she prayed to be united forever, their two forms merged into one.

Himeros

Himeros (Greek: Шаблон:Lang "uncontrollable desire", Latin: Himerus) represented desire and unrequited love.[5]Шаблон:Rp Himeros was identified by his carrying a taenia, a colourful headband worn by athletes.[8]Шаблон:Rp Hesiod's Theogony says that he accompanied Aphrodite to the Gods, alongside Eros.[15]

Pothos

Pothos (Greek: Шаблон:Lang, "yearning", "desire") was one of Aphrodite's erotes and brother to Himeros and Eros. In some versions of myth, Pothos is the son of Eros, or is portrayed as an independent aspect of him.[8]Шаблон:Rp Yet others called him son of Zephyrus and Iris.[16] He was part of Aphrodite's retinue, and carried a vine, indicating a connection to wine or the god Dionysus. Pothos represents longing or yearning. [5]Шаблон:Rp In the temple of Aphrodite at Megara, there was a sculpture that represented Pothos together with Eros and Himeros which has been credited to Scopas.[17]

Phthonus

Шаблон:Main article Sometime counted among the Erotes or at least among Aphrodite's retinue, Phthonus was the personification of jealousy and envy,[18] most prominently in matters of romance.
