Eros

Hesiod's Theogony

A genealogy of the gods

Eros (Love): The force of attraction that would allow creation and procreation.

The text describes the creation of Eros and Psyche, Paradise, plants and animals, and humans. 

Eros, an androgynous being, created the gods and their angels and made them fall in love with him.

Psyche loved Eros and poured her blood on him, resulting in the first rose.

From Chaos emerge Gaia (Earth), Tartarus (the Abyss), Eros (Love), Erebus (Darkness), and Nyx (Night), setting the stage for the creation of the cosmos and the gods.

According to the myth, the fish were able to save the life of the goddess and her son Eros by carrying them to safety across a river.
