Himerus

In Greek mythology, Himerus was the personification of lust and sexual desire, son of Aphrodite and Ares. He was the brother of Eros, the patron of male love, and of Anteros, the embodiment of requited (returned) love. He has, like his two brothers(Eros and Anteros), a bow and arrows, to create desire and lust in people.
