964:. The entry is indeed on page 139 (at least as of the 1997 edition of this encyclopedia), but dictionaries and encyclopedia probably ought to be cited by the name of the passage in question, since the passages are listed alphabetically. In this case, the passage from p. 139 is predictably titled "Eros". I hope someone with a better understanding of how the Notes section is populated can somehow correct this troubling error which has undoubtedly left many readers wondering where the cited information actually came from. --

886:, while Aphrodite ruled the love between men and women." I assume this was somebody fooling around, so I thought I'd bring it to attention, I'd fix it myself but I'm just beginning figuring out how to edit. Also, I agree with the above posts that Eros was nowhere near only the patron of homosexual love, but love in general- heterosexual love playing just as large a role.

It says in the article that "In later myths, he was the son of the deities
Aphrodite and Ares" & even on the page about Ares, it says that he is the father of Eros. Actually, in Greek mythology, it is greatly disputed as to who the father of Eros is. Even Zeus is said to be the father of Eros.

I've just been reading about the primordial Gods - Chaos, Nox etc - who were around even before Uranus, father of Kronos. One of this earlier family appears to be called "Eros" too - presumably, he ruled over the passions before they became the preserve of the younger gods. In these essays, this

I'm afraid I don't understand how to edit the Notes list, but note number 11 is in dire need of a rewrite. The contributor who added it unfortunately failed to even list the name of the book being cited, and for some reason lists the author as "Conner" even though Conner is only one of multiple
