Class of the Titans Season 1 Episode 18

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.
