One consolation alone now remained to the exiled god, — his music. […] The god seized his golden lyre and poured forth impassioned strains. […] This hasty and somewhat primitive toilet completed, Venus and her followers set out for Mount Olympus, and on their way thither were joined by Himerus, god of the desire of love; Pothos, god of the amities of love; Suadela, god of the soft speech of love; and Hymen, god of marriage. […] It was only revealed to her when Anteros, god of passion, was born. […] No temples were dedicated to him, and statues of this god are very rare.
