Greetings and be welcome to my Oikos!

I am Himeros, one of the winged youths who form Aphrodite's host, the Erotes. I am also her son, which makes me and my twin brother Pothos the brothers of Anteros and Eros. In fact we all are so close that people at later times forgot about us all, except our most famous - and oldest - sibling, Eros.

All of us Erotes personify certain aspects related to love and similar matters. Perhaps I am the most "tangible" one. I am the patron of desire, an this includes every form of it, plain sexual desire as well. People often cannot tell the difference between my domain and that of my twin brother, Pothos.

Let me be plain as it is my nature:
If you melt away and dream of it, it was Pothos.
If you burn for it, if it drives you mad, it was me.

Not many references to my person have made it into modern times, what is left has been muddied, so I am, like most of the host, often confused with Eros.
