Love's Parents
What wonder if Love, the plague of men, shoots fiery arrows and laughs shrilly with wayward eyes?
Does not his mother love Ares and is she not the wife of Hephaestus and therefore kin to fire and sword?
And does not Thalassa, the mother of his mother, roar savagely under the whip of the winds?
No one knows who his father is. Therefore Love has the fire of Hephaestus and delights in the waves' anger and in the blood-stained shafts of Ares.
