Eros;

Although Eros' lineage differs from myth to myth, there are two primary versions -- one has him as a primordial force of the universe born near the beginning of its creation. The other major myth has him as the child of divine parents. Who the parents are differs from story to story, but the most common and widely accepted pairing is Aphrodite and Ares.

As the archer god of love (or erotic love personified), he shot both arrows of gold and lead -- the gold arrows filled the victim with desire, whereas the lead arrows consumed the target with indifference. The arrows of hate used in this episode are clearly neither (note that hate and indifference are not the same thing), and rather an invention of the episodes.

Eros was the reason for Helen falling in love with Paris, and Medea falling in love with Jason, among many other couples. He only went against his mother Aphrodite's orders once when he accidentally shot himself with one of his arrows and married Psyche whom he was suddenly in love with. (edit)
Psyche;

Youngest daughter of a king, she was said to be so beautiful that even Aphrodite herself was envious! Aphrodite, furious that Psyche could dare be as beautiful (or more so) than herself, and sent her son, Eros, to hit Psyche with an arrow so that she would fall in love with someone undeserving of her. However, when Eros went to shoot her, he shot himself with an arrow and fell in love with Psyche himself.

However, because Psyche was a mortal and Eros immortal, she could never see him if she wished to live. Otherwise, what happened between Zeus and Semele, would happen to her.

One day however Psyche invited her sisters over and they instilled suspicion in her--- suggesting the possibilities of Eros being ugly, or that he had several wives in different castles. Suspicious at last, she lit a candle one night when Eros was sleeping, and saw him, the most beautiful looking youth she had ever seen--- and then she never saw him again. In another version of the legend, Eros eventually forgave her. (edit)
