Among the Greeks she was worshiped as the goddess of beauty and love. […] When Eros saw the lovely maiden, his own heart was filled with love for her. […] Phædra fell in love with Hippolytus, but he repulsed her advances, and her love was changed to hate. […] Eros, or Cupid, presided over love. […] He is identical with the Greek Eros, or god of love, and the Latin Cupid.
