{| POTHOS |}
"The heart has a yearning for the unknown, a longing to penetrate the deep shadow and the winding glade, where, as it seems, no human foot has been." - Richard Jefferies
age/dob: Immortal affiliation: Aligned with the Gods. misc/other
God of love, specifically the god of yearning and longing, most often toward an unattainable goal.
{| MYTHOLOGY OR HISTORY (Wikipedia, Livius) |}
Often associated with his brother Himeros, Pothos, too, is one of the four Erotes, born of Ares and Aphrodite. However, where Himeros represented the desire toward something that was within human reach, Pothos most often represented the longing for an unattainable goal. As the object of this longing could only be reached in a better, more perfect world, Pothos was often associated with death and the Underworld. As the yearning inspired by Pothos can often become so intense as to inspire madness, Pothos is also affiliated with Dionysus.
Where his brothers are social creatures, Pothos tends to seek the quiet peace that can be found in crowds where all are somehow alone. He paints and sculpts, creates wondrous representations of the desires of man and sells them to those who will never attain their truest desires for ridiculous sums of money.

As I've yet to win the lottery or publish a series of books marketed at impressionable teens, I am forced to work for a living and therefore am able to romp and play with others mostly in the evening hours and on the weekends.
