The oldest versions of Greek myth describe Eros, god of love and desire, as one of the first beings in existence.

Description

This is a Roman copy of the statue of Eros by Lysippus, the last of the great sculptors of Greece. He worked in the second half of the fourth century and was court sculptor to Alexander the Great. In the complete statue the god stood naked, his head turned to the right, his hand clasping a bow.
