Amor asteroids can be partitioned into four sub-groups, depending on their average distance from the Sun.
Amor I asteroids that have semi-major axes very close to Earth's (such as 1992 JD) can be considered Arjuna asteroids because they have very low eccentricities and thus Earth-like orbits.
But, that contradicts the article (saying that 1221 Amor was the first Amor asteroid to be discovered and that Eros is an Amor asteroid).

In order to avenge herself, the goddess ordered Amor to inspire Psyche with a love for the most con­ temptible of all men: but Amor was so stricken with her beauty that he himself fell in love with her.
But her jealous sisters made her believe that in the darkness of night she was embracing some hideous monster, and accordingly once, while Amor was asleep, she approached him with a lamp, and, to her amazement, she beheld the most handsome and lovely of the gods.
Psyche's peace was now gone all at once, and after having attempted in vain to throw herself into a river, she wandered about from temple to temple, inquiring- after her beloved, and at length came to the palace of Venus.

Mulder has been abducted by aliens and seems to be headed for an extended trip to the great unknown, while Scully has found herself pregnant, much to her own surprise, and the mythology seems ready to take off in another new direction.
Finally, "Requiem" showed the two agents pondering how best to go forward with their crusade in light of how much has changed, only to discover a resurgent alien presence and the possibility that the conspiracy might not be dead and buried after all.
The closing of the X-Files and Scully's abduction in Season Two were originally designed to work around Gillian Anderson's pregnancy, the feature film necessitated the clean-up of the mythology in Season Five, and the possibility that this would be the last season meant that the Samantha mystery had to be resolved.

Caravaggio's Amor Vincit OmniaIn painting and sculpture, Cupid is portrayed as a nude winged boy armed with a bow and a quiver of arrows.
He is also shown wearing a helmet and carrying a buckler (perhaps in reference to Ovid's "amor vinces omnia" or as political satire on wars for love or love as war).

 Claudia's Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati
Otherwise "Amor Fati" was a decent mythology episode even though we didn’t really learn anything new other than Mulder is the chosen one (gee, I wonder if he really has a father at all) to help fight against the coming alien virus invasion.
What "Amor Fati" did give us was an interesting look into Mulder’s mind from the child on the beach making a sand alien ship to his secret desire to chuck everything for a normal life where he has his sister, a wife, kids and no guilt about what his quest has done to others.
Overall an enjoyable mythology episode which didn’t really move the mythology along something we are getting used to, but shouldn’t have to.

 Greek Mythology: EROS God of Love & Sexual Desire ( Cupidus Cupid Amor ) w/ Pictures
In the sense in which he is usually conceived, Eros is the creature of the later Greek poets; and in order to understand the ancients properly we must distinguish three Erotes: viz.
"Nor do winsome Amor [Eros, Love] and Gratia [Kharis, Grace] grow weary in scattering countless blossoms and cloudy perfumes [during the wedding] o’er thee [the bridegroom] and as thou holdest close-locked the snow-white limbs of thy longed-for bride.

 The Play of Fates | Amor Fati   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Fateplay (Norwegian: "Skjebnespill" or "Lagnadsspel") was developed during the work with the "Troyan War" LARP, an over-ambitious project aiming to bring Homers Illiad to life as a LARP.
The problem faced by the organisers was simple: Although one could recreate the atmosphere of the Great Battles, as well as some of the characters, one could not recreate the complex and epic storyline which is the real attraction of the Illiad, or greek mythology in general.
The setting was the Thrace of the Orpheus mythology, and the story was spun around the wedding of Orpheus and Eurydice.

The third volume of the X-Files Mythology series picks up in the fifth season, when much of the series' alien-conspiracy themes begin to be revealed.
While the Mythology sets serve a function by calling attention to the seasons-long story arc, they hurt by eliminating the standalone episodes, which are just as crucial to developing the Mulder-Scully chemistry as the Mythology episodes.
This review is more or less a reflection on the entirety of the Mythology series which streamlines the Alien conspiracy from begining to end.
