Talk:Statuettes of Aphrodte and Eros/@comment-3270170-20190503220118/@comment-31772644-20190504002447

Both sort of right. Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty and love in a more generic form, between friends, lovers or family. Eros, depending on which myth you believe, is more complicated. As an older primal god he's associated with desire. As a younger god, son of Aphrodite, he's more physical and represents the affection between lovers. Neither can really be said to personify "lust". That would be Priapus.
