Greek spelling
[edit]The Greek form of Anteros should probably be Ἀντέρως (with a smooth breathing).
Encyc Mythica & Theoi
[edit]I thought this site had been deemed unreliable as a source, which seems the case to me. A lot of their entries are worse than our own if not entirely made up. Is it a type of wiki? What about Theoi?YobMod 07:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

- ↑ Encyclopedia Mythica - Anteros In Greek myth, Anteros ("return- or opposite-love") is sometimes the brother of Eros, the god of love. The latter languished of loneliness until Aphrodite gave Anteros to him as a playmate: love must be answered if it is to prosper. Anteros is also the god who punishes those who scorn love or do not return love of others.
Question regarding the image
[edit]The picture does not look like the statue in Piccadilly Circus.
Requited or selfless?
[edit]Reading Mythos by Stephen Fry, he describes Anteros as the patron of “selfless unconditional love”. He states this the reason for his depiction on the statue in Piccadilly Circus, deliberately chosen “to celebrate the selfless love that demands no return”. Is this worth including? The reason i ask, is that this seems in opposition to the claim that Anteros “punished” those who scorned someone’s love. Euor (talk) 00:56, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
