Terracotta Statuette of Aphrodite and Eros
Greek, South Italian, 3rd century BC

Accession # 12.232.11

In Greek mythology, Eros is the son of the goddess Aphrodite and her lover Ares, god of war. Images of Aphrodite and the baby Eros together became popular in the Hellenistic period as never before, a trend that was also reflected in the literature of the time.
