	Eros (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Eros was the god responsible for lust, love, and sex; he was also worshipped as a fertility deity.
		In art, Eros was usually depicted as a nude winged boy or infant (although this is associated more with Cupid from Roman religion; to the Greeks he was a young man or a teenager), with his bow and arrows in hand.
		Eros, angry at Apollo for making fun of his archery skills, caused him to fall in love with the nymph Daphne, daughter of Ladon, who had scorned him.

	Eros
		Eros, the Greek god of love and sexual desire (the word eros, which is found in the Iliad by Homer, is a common noun meaning sexual desire).
		From the early legend of Eros it is said that he was responsible for the embraces of Uranus (Heaven or Sky) and Gaia (Earth), and from their union were born many offspring.
		Eros is usually depicted as a young winged boy, with his bow and arrows at the ready, to either shoot into the hearts of gods or mortals which would rouse them to desire.

	Asteroid Eros
		Eros is approximately 33x13x13 kilometers (20x8x8 miles) in size and resembles a "fat banana." It is the second largest near-Earth asteroid and spins on its axis once every 5 hours, 16 minutes.
		Eros exhibits a heavily cratered surface with one side dominated by a huge, scallop-rimmed gouge, and the opposite side by a conspicuous sharp, raised rimmed crater.
		This image mosaic of Eros was taken by the NEAR spacecraft on February 18, 2000 from a range of 224 miles (361 kilometers).

	433 Eros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eros was visited by the NEAR Shoemaker probe, which orbited it, taking extensive photographs of its surface, and then, on February 12, 2001 at the end of its mission, landed on the asteroid's surface using only its maneuvering jets.
		NEAR scientists have found that most of the larger rocks strewn across Eros were ejected from a single crater in a meteorite collision perhaps 1 Ga (1 billion years) ago.
		Since Eros is irregularly shaped, a 9 kilometer straight line through the asteroid can reach locations that would be further away if travelling across the surface, thus leading to the uneven pattern of crater density on the surface.

	Shape of Asteroid 433 Eros (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Eros' elongation is also evident in 3.5-cm Goldstone radar echoes (Jurgens and Goldstein 1976); as the asteroid rotates, the echo's Doppler bandwidth varies by about a factor of two.
		Eros' rotation period is short enough that the asteroid should be in principal-axis rotation (Harris 1994, Burns and Safranov 1973), so the dynamical penalty functions restrict our attention to only those perturbations that result in dynamically plausible models.
		Eros could be an intact fragment from a (highly or slightly) differentiated parent body, in which case mineralogical variations in that body might be preserved in Eros.

	433 Eros
		433 Eros is an S-type asteroid orbiting the Sun mostly between the orbits of Earth and Mars.
		Eros might be a fragment from a planetoid that coalesced long ago and later broke apart as a result of collisions with other asteroids.
		Inside Eros' Giant Gouge This picture was taken from NEAR on February 15, 2000, while the spacecraft was passing directly over the large gouge that creates Eros's characteristic peanut shape.

	Eros, Greek Mythology Link.
		Eros is Love, who overpowers the mind, and tames the spirit in the breasts of both gods and men.
		Eros then deserted her, and when their love was discovered, Psyche suffered the wrath of Aphrodite, who mistreated her in many ways.
		Eros, they say, appeared after Chaos, and is one of the oldest gods, himself having no parents.

	Mythography \| The Greek God Eros in Myth and Art
		According to some sources, Eros was the son of the goddess Aphrodite (occasionally, it is claimed that he is the child of both Aphrodite and Ares).
		As Aphrodite's son, Eros loses a bit of his power and prestige and becomes more of a companion (or accomplice) to the goddess of love and desire.
		Eros was known as Cupid in Roman mythology.

	Psyche and Eros
		Eros was very kind to Psyche in every way that he could be - giving her invisible servants to wait on her every wish - but he never ever let her see his face, ominously warning her that the day she did it would be over.
		Eros heard the loneliness in her voice and agreed, but he knew that this would be their downfall.
		Eros took her in his arms, and from that day on the two were never parted again.

	Eros and Psyche
		Eros, having been commanded by his mother, is awaiting nearby and seeing her for the first time is so struck with her beauty that he accidentally pricks his own hand with one of his arrows and falls deeply in love with Psyche.
		In fact, Eros cannot be separated from his beloved Psyche, since they are united by a secret and sacred bond, invisible and unconscious in man. In fact, man’s psyche remains filled with erotic, sensual, carnal desires that keep him and his mind trapped on the physical plane along with his emotions and consciousness.
		Eros is shown pointing his arrow towards the seeker’s crown chakra, meaning that the seeker is in a higher initiation that will unite the two opposites and paradoxical sides within himself, and blend them on his axial level.

		Eros flies over the earth and over the loud-roaring salt sea and bewitches the one on whose frenzied mind he darts, winged and gold-gleaming, he bewitches the whelps of the mountain and those of the sea, what the earth brings forth and what the blazing sun looks down upon, and likewise mortal men.
		The mixed parenthood of Eros, as well as his transforming images, (some version of myth have him assisting Aphrodite at her birth and in others he is her offspring), may illustrates ongoing changes in the collective awareness of the concept of love and creativity.
		Eros, concerned by her condition, finally agrees to allow Psyche’s sisters to visit, but he warns her again not to gaze upon his face.

	Cornell News: Report on asteroid 433 Eros
		Eros is estimated to be about 4 billion years old, probably the remnant of a larger asteroid broken up by a collision with another asteroid.
		Perhaps a billion years ago, Eros itself was struck by an object -- a meteorite or small comet -- creating a crater nearly 5 miles (7.6 kilometers) wide and shattering into rocks of all sizes.
		The mystery posed by the Eros maps for the researchers is why the same thing didn't happen with two other large craters on Eros: Himeros, on the body's convex side, and Psyche, on the concave side.

	Highlights from Asteroid Eros (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"Eros is heavily cratered," continued Robinson, "That means its surface is not young." Craters have probably accumulated on the surface of Eros for billions of years.
		The saddle could be a very young dent in the side of Eros, speculated Robinson, "or it could have been there for 2 billion years, but a [rock or dust] slide could have erased the cratering record.
		By counting craters on surfaces with known ages, like lunar highlands and maria which have been dated by radioactive methods, it is possible to obtain a rough conversion factor between the minimum age of a planetary feature and the number of craters that are found on top of it.

	Three-Way Split: "Eros"
		Not only that, the theme is "eros," saved from soft-core devaluation by the pedigree of Antonioni's concerned 1960 declaration at Cannes that "Eros is sick." It seems fairest to embrace the potential for failure--in other words, for experimentation--rather than demand a demeaning tasting platter of directors or a vehicle for your favorite director between features.
		Soderbergh displaces eros to a narrative play with continuum and simultaneity: Arkin spies on and signs to someone through the window while cogently psychoanalyzing Downey (who, talking from the couch, can't see the antics).
		Aside from capturing a series of temporal impressions, Antonioni may be intending an update on the state of eros in a pornographic age; at least, one wants to make something of the one unusual scene, in which the second woman engages in a pre-coital session of masturbation whilst standing on her bed.

	Philosophy of Love [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The term eros (Greek erasthai) is used to refer to that part of love constituting a passionate, intense desire for something, it is often referred to as a sexual desire, hence the modern notion of 'erotic' (Greek erotikos).
		The implication of the Platonic theory of eros is that ideal beauty, which is reflected in the particular images of beauty we find, becomes interchangeable across people and things, ideas, and art: to love is to love the Platonic form of beauty-not a particular individual, but the element they posses of true (Ideal) beauty.
		Agape arguably draws on elements from both eros and philia in that it seeks a perfect kind of love that is at once a fondness, a transcending of the particular, and a passion without the necessity of reciprocity.
