He was associated with athleticism, statues erected in gymnasia, and "was often regarded as protector of homosexual love between men." Eros was depicted carrying a lyre or bow and arrow. He was also shown accompanied by dolphins, flutes, roosters, roses, and torches. [Hera addresses Athena:] “We must talk to Aphrodite. Let's go together and ask her to persuade her boy [Eros] to shoot an arrow at Aeetes’ daughter, Medea of the many spells, and make her fall in love with Jason.” (Apollonius of Rhodes, Argonautica 3. 25 ff - a Greek epic of the 3rd century BC) "He smites maids' breasts with unknown heat, and bids the gods leave heaven to dwell on earth in borrowed forms." (Seneca, Phaedra 290 ff.) "Once, Venus’ son [Eros] was kissing her, his quiver dangling down. A jutting arrow grazed her breast unbeknownst. She pushed him away. In fact, the wound was deeper than it seemed. And she became enraptured by a man’s beauty." (Ovid, Metamorphoses 10. 525 ff.) "Eros drove Dionysos mad for Aura with the delicious wound of his arrow. He then flew to Olympus, curving his wings. The god roamed over hills, scourged with greater fire.” (Nonnus, Dionysiaca 48. 470 ff – a Greek epic of the 5th century AD)
