EROS

Abstract

The author makes considerations about Eros' myth in their several meanings: the primitive Eros, son of Chaus or of Nix, the Olympic Eros, son of Aphrodite and the Platonic Eros, son of Deusa Penia's, the poverty, and of Deus Poros, the passage, the ingeniousness. Eros' myth and Psyche are described and their possible interpretations, when the primordial god turns to integrate the mythology linked to Zeus and Apollo and the civilization starts to contain the dionisian and the apolinian forms.
