Found within Greek mythology, we find the angelic winged "Cupid" Eros, the meaning of which in Ancient Greek: is "Desire". Eros, is the Greek god of love. To which there are also darker elements, the true context must be understood.

In Rome his counterpart was Cupid meaning "desire". In the earliest account, he is a primordial god, while in later accounts he is described as one of the children of Aphrodite and Ares and, with some of his siblings, was one of the Seven Erotes, a group of winged love gods.

The Greek meaning of Eros is "to desire, or love", and is of uncertain etymology.
R. S. P. Beekes has suggested a Pre-Greek origin. As does Ancient Mystery
Seven are they, there names vary but their number never changes and of course this is quite fitting as Eros appears in ancient Greek sources under several different guises.

In the earliest sources (the cosmogonies, the earliest philosophers, and texts referring to the mystery religions), he is one of the primordial gods involved in the coming into being of the cosmos.

In later sources, however, Eros is represented as the son of Aphrodite, whose mischievous interventions in the affairs of gods and mortals cause bonds of love to form.

Ultimately, in the later satirical poets, he is represented as a blindfolded child, the precursor to the chubby Renaissance Cupid, whereas in early Greek poetry and art, Eros was depicted as a young adult male who embodies power, and a profound artist.

The fourth day of every month was sacred to him this was also shared by Herakles, Hermes and Aphrodite).

In this documentary I lift the veil a little to see exactly who or what Eros and the Darkness really is...
