Deserted by Eros, her lover, Psyche bemoans her curiosity and its consequences. Agitated yet demure, she is comforted by Pan, the otherwise frivolous god of nature.

Offerings for Eros

I've noticed that all the online resources I've found regarding what offerings to give to Eros have been broad and vague (e.g., flowers, birds, etc.). but I've recently started working with Eros and have come to learn that he is pickier than that. So, for anyone who might want to work with or may already be working with Eros, this is where I'll compile the information I've gathered about his preferences for offerings. Obviously, your relationship with Eros is your own and he may express different desires to you. This list is based on my experience and is not definitive.

Mythologic Geekery: Eros

Okay, so let me talk about the last god that shows up in Stray Gods. Eros. And talk about his background. Or... Well, what we have in terms of that.

Because here is the thing: Yeah, we do not know where he comes from. Basically, mythologies stemming from the Proto-Indo-European stuff, feature a lot of goddesses of love and sex, but... yeah, not a lot of gods. Male personifications of sex and lust usually tend to be characterized in a negative way when it comes to Indo-European comparative stuff.

Now, don't get me wrong: Eros, like most of the Greek Gods, got defanged during the medieval period and the early, when they kinda got included in literature and theatre. So, yes, Eros always had this lust aspect to him. Still, he is not as negatively framed as Asmondeus for example.

What makes him unique, really, is that he definitely has the love and sensuality aspect of sex in there. More passion, than just lust.

Okay, next thing about him: While he does seem to originate with the Hellenistic stuff, but in the earliest phase of it. Before Olympus was a thing yet, Eros was already there. Now, he does not go as far back as Pan (and Hermes), because he originates with Hellenistic Greece. But in the oldest stuff that we have written down, he is actually not a son to Aphrodite (obviously, given Aphrodite came to Greece much later), but he is one of the Primordials.

If you have played Hades, you probably know at least a bit about the Primordials. They were not the Titans, but primordial forces of the world. That is Chaos, Gaia (Earth), Tartarus (the abyss), Eros (desire) and Nyx (the night/darkness). Note that in some versions Eros is there from the beginning, in some other versions he is the son of Nyx. Nyx gives brith to a pleathora of other primordial forces, that are not yet gods or titans. Like Aether (Light), Dolos (Pain) and Thanatos (Death).

And those are quite interesting in some regard, because they are a very unique to the Greek mythology. Even within other Indo-European mythologies, we do not have these primordials as this first thing that comes to the world. Usually... it is more orderly.

So, there might be a chance, that this is something left over from the people living in Greece prior to contact with the Indo-European mythology.
