Eros, very angry at Apollo for making fun of his archery skills, caused him to fall in love with the nymph Daphne, daughter of Ladon, who had scorned him.Roman world long before it was put to print; first seen in Apuleius' Latin novel, The Golden Ass, this is apparent and an interesting intermingling of character roles.It is only Eros whose role hails from his part in the Roman pantheon.It tells of the struggle for love and trust between Eros and Psyche, whose name is difficult to appropriately translate as it transcends both the Greek and Latin language, but can be taken to mean "soul", "mind" or rather both.Aphrodite is jealous of the beauty of mortal Psyche, as men are leaving her altars barren to worship a mere human woman instead, and so commands her son Eros to cause Psyche to fall in love with the ugliest creature on earth.Eros falls in love with Psyche himself and spirits her away to his home.Their fragile peace is ruined by a visit of Psyche's jealous sisters, who cause Psyche to betray the trust of her husband.Wounded, Eros departs from his wife and Psyche wanders the earth, looking for her lost love.In order to regain the trust and love that she cast away, Psyche must complete three tasks, one requiring descent to the underworld.Eventually, she bears Eros a daughter, Hedone, whose name means "pleasure."Psyche's visit to and return from the underworld made her an object of some devotion, like Dionysus and Persephone.She was an object of some mystery religions and was occasionally mentioned in connection with the popular Eleusinian Mysteries.Some people believe that this story tells of how love can come when desire (Eros) starts to fancy a person's soul (Psyche) rather than that person's body.References

Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous mission exuded the air of kids in a
candy shop as they discussed the latest results from asteroid
Eros."Once I got over that, the geology took
over.""This is not just another rock floating
out in space," continued Robinson."There's a lot of neat geology
going on."This could come about if
Eros was once part of a larger body, perhaps a fragment of a planet."Asteroids are likely to be leftover pieces of a planet
that tried to form 4.Eros might be a fragment from a planetoid that
coalesced long ago and later broke apart as a result of collisions
with other asteroids.With NEAR in orbit, scientists now know that
Eros's density is 2."With this new data, it now looks like we have a fairly solid object,"
says radio science team leader Dr.Donald Yeomans of NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA.Eros has a giant gouge which was of interest.Inside Eros' Giant Gouge This picture was taken from NEAR on February
15, 2000, while the spacecraft was passing directly over the large
gouge that creates Eros's characteristic peanut shape.It is a mosaic
of individual images showing features as small as 120 feet (35
meters) across.The strong lighting contrast along the terminator (the
line separating day from night on Eros) makes it easy to see that
most of the surface is saturated with impact craters.This implies that the event that caused the gouge must
have happened more recently than the formation of the rest of the
surface of Eros.Watching that event was the most exciting experience of
several asteronomer's lives.NEAR mission to collect data from the surface of
Eros through Feb.NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft's historic landing on the
