Question: What is Love?

Image
What is love? Since ancient times, the aspects of this multi-faceted emotion have been expressed through the many love gods and goddesses throughout the world. Today, the major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) think in terms of 'one god', but in ancient times many gods and goddesses featured in religions of all cultures. Even the Roman Catholic Church still has a pantheon of saints, each responsible for a particular area of life. This is a remnant of the belief that the different deities and their powers were a reflection of mortal life and its aspects upon a higher scale. The mythical lives of the gods and goddess dealt with mortal issues upon an immortal playing field; love, marriage, death, fertility, war, loss, argument, jealousy and so on, and so humanity learned about itself by observing the ways of the gods.

Happy Valentine's Day. I honor the God of Love himself, Eros. Eros or Cupid to the Romans is a God of love. He is the assistant of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite. Eros is the personification of universal passion and love in all its many facets, from spiritual to sexual to romantic to the love between friends and brothers in arms. He is also the God of homosexual love and was a God much worshiped by Greek soldiers. Many Greek armies sacrificed to him before conflict, as love between warriors helped to ensure success in battle. Eros also represents freedom and harmony and is a protector of man’s liberties and free will. He is a creative power and a God of fertility. He also presides over beauty, sexual intercourse, passion and healing. The word “erotic” comes from his name. Eros is commonly seen in Greek Lore, much debated is the birth and parentage of Eros. Quite possibly, there were two Gods named Eros. The first, being one of the oldest of the Greek Gods and the ...

She had problems like regular married couple have mother-in-law from hell, jealous siblings and a husband was a mama boy. Psyche's story begins as a fairy tale. Once upon a time there was a king with three daughters. They were all beautiful, but by far the most beautiful was the youngest, Psyche. She was so beautiful that people began to neglect the worship of Venus, the Goddess of love and beauty. Venus was pissed, and asked her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with a horrible monster. When he saw how beautiful she was, Cupid dropped the arrow meant for her and pricked him, and fell in love with her. Despite her great beauty no-one wanted to m...
