| ENT_EROS_PRIMORDIAL | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | direct attestation | Theogony 120-122: Eros emerges as the fourth primordial — "the fairest of the immortal gods, who slackens the limbs and overcomes the mind and wise counsels of all gods and all men within them" — the generative principle enabling cosmic reproduction; Hesiod is the primary ancient text for Eros as a cosmological first-principle distinct from the later Aphrodite-attendant Eros |
