Eros (Cupid) : Child of Chaos ,the shining god of love and attraction . He was depicted as a blindfolded male, who, carrying his bow and arrow, could target any human being and make them fall in love with the first person they would see. Hesiod doesn't write much about Eros except that he was , “The fairest among the deathless gods . " In later myths he was the son of Aphrodite.

For the ancient Greeks, 'love' was categorized into distinct words, each representing a different kind of infatuation; which is considerably different from our ideas of generalizing all aspects and types of 'love' into a single word. This played a significant role when working with magic spells and amulets, as the intention of the magic would be focused on what kind of love or relationship a person was seeking to obtain or strengthen.
