Father: Poseidon
Mother: Gaia
Greek giant who was invincible in every way
as long as he remained in contact with the
Earth (Gaia, his mother). He was defeated by
Hercules when Hercules picked him up off the
ground, thus severing his ties with his mother
and bringing his loss. This story speaks volumes
to the connection between sons and their
mothers.Anteros—Male—Mediterranean
‘Return’—Greek god of mutual love and
the punisher of those who do not return love.
Before his birth, his brother Eros was horribly
lonely and depressed. So deep was Eros’ de-
pression that Aphrodite took notice and gave
him Anteros as brother and companion.
Anteros speaks to us of not only brotherly love,
but love that is returned in the manner in which
it is given. He tells us that mutual love and ad-
miration is far superior to one-sided desire, for
even Eros (god of desire) was humbled before
the feeling that he was alone.Anat—Female—Mediterranean
