Ἔρως.........Eros

Στᾶθι κἄντα φίλοσ,....

καὶ τὰν ἔπ᾽ ὄσσοισ ἀμπέτασον χάριν. [transcription]

 

Face me, my dear one...and unveil the grace in thine eyes.( Sappho)

 

Eros (Greek: Ἔρως), or Aros in Greek mythology, was the primordial god of lust, beauty, love, and intercourse; he was also worshipped as a fertility deity. His Roman counterpart was Cupid, "desire", also known as Amor, "love". (wikipedia)
