Sorry I just noticed this. First, I think Eros sounds like a cool name. I never said he did not eventually fall in love. I said his arrows of love did not work on him, and that he sucked at seduction.
Your website actually proves my point, so I will spell it out by quoting from it.
Backstory is that Eros (more commonly known as Cupid) is gifted by having arrows that he shoots people with and it makes them fall in love. The arrows do not work on him, so for a very long time he is unhappy and alone. So instead of improving himself, he instead relied on deceit and spending a lot of money on her:)
Let's go over the deceit first. So she goes to the oracle to get help with love so what does Eros do?
"Eros guided Apollo to give the oracle that Psyche would marry an ugly beast whose face she would never be able to see, and he would wait for her at the top of the mountain."
"After the wedding, Psyche was able to be with her husband only at night. His tenderness and the enormous love he showed to her made Psyche happy and fulfilled beyond her expectations and dreams. She talked about her happiness with her sisters and confined in them how sad she was she could not see his face."
Basically he told his homie Apollo to arrange his marriage. He then showered her with gifts and she obviously loved the new mansion(castle) she live in. Then even after being married, Eros was so insecure that he only came to her in the night when she could not see him.
Then he found out that bitch was Crazy:) "With the oil lamp and knife in her hands, Psyche one night was ready for murder, but when she enlightened the face of her beast-husband she saw the beautiful God Eros. Caught by surprise, she spilled the oil on his face. Eros woke up and flew away telling Psyche that she betrayed him and ruined their relationship so that they could never be united again."
I mean yeah eventually she said my bad and did a few tasks for Eros's mom and they stayed together. But that kind of proves my point. If Eros was a man/god with many options, why would he go back to a crazy bitch that literally tried to kill him:)
So cool name, but not a god with great seductive qualities. Zeus on the other hand was a true player. He was fucking everything. He was like the Tiger Woods of Greek God's:)
