the following from wiki:
Throughout Greek thought, there appear to be two sides to the conception of
Eros;
in the first, he is a primeval deity who embodies not only the force of erotic
love
but also the creative urge of ever-flowing nature, the firstborn Light for the
coming into being and ordering of all things in the cosmos. In Hesiod's
Theogony,
the most famous Greek creation myth, Eros sprang forth from the primordial
Chaos
together with Gaea, the Earth, and Tartarus, the underworld; according to
Aristophanes'
play The Birds (c. 414 BC), he burgeons forth from an egg laid by Nyx (Night)
conceived
with Erebus (Darkness). In the Eleusinian Mysteries, he was worshiped as
Protogonus,
the first-born.
