We all know about Eros, also known as Cupid. While it's not clear who Cupid's father was, his was definitely his mother's son. Who was she?

Of course, it makes sense that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, would give birth to Eros, otherwise known as Cupid. The mischievous man was kind of like the god of passionate and physical desire - much more than just "love". The poet Hesiod put it best: he "loosens the limbs and weakens the mind."
