Homonym: eros (Desire)
Eros is a concept from ancient Greek mythology representing romantic love and desire. Often depicted as a young winged god, Eros symbolizes the passionate and sometimes chaotic nature of love. He is associated with the idea of attraction and the powerful emotions that come with falling in love.
