Eros: od Hesiodove Teogonije do kasne antike naslov je izložbe koja je u toku u Muzeju kikladske umetnosti u Atini. Izložbu čini devet tematskih celina, svaka svedoči o jednom od brojnih načina na koji je Eros shvatan tokom antike - kao osnovni kosmički princip, božanstvo, neodoljiva fizička privlačnosti, demon. U ikonografskom pogledu Eros se različito prikazivao u umetnosti, i od mladića u arhajskom periodu vremenom je postajao sve mlađi, tako da u helenističkom periodu postaje malo dete. Izložba nameće i zanimljivo pitanje odnosa erotskog, seksualnog i morala i puritanstva u antici i danas.

Citat:Phallic-shaped lamps, love letters engraved in clay and erotic symbols on lucky charms dating from 7 BC to 4 AD are just a fraction of what visitors will see at an exhibition dedicated to the Greek and later Roman god of love.

"In ancient Greece, one could see a sexual scene on a public or a private building's crest... people were not prudes," said professor Nicholas Stampolidis, director of the Cycladic Art museum.
"Today everything can be seen in magazines or on the internet, and despite this freedom there is a huge hypocrisy, an inexplicable puritanism," Stampolidis said.
The exhibition is divided into nine sections, inspired by the number of the ancient Greek muses, goddesses of literature and the arts.
...
The exhibition ends with homosexual love, prostitution and erotic symbols on ordinary items such as vases, believed to bring fertility or simply used to cheer people up.
