You misinterpret Eros (especially) in the first paragraph of The Greek Tale. For a better understanding please read https://www.theoi.com/Protogenos/Eros.html.

"EROS was the primordial god (protogenos) of procreation who emerged self-formed at the dawn of creation. He was the driving force behind the generation of new life in the cosmos. The Orphics named him Phanes, a primal being hatched from the world-egg. He was also equivalent to Thesis (Creation) and Physis, (Nature)."

Thank you, will check this out

I have a show coming out on this next Wednesday where we get into the egg god myth, which was also a neolithic rather than Yamnaya one, or so it appears

More and more these days, I'm understanding that the ancient gods were demons, and those demons are still very much fighting for control. Human sacrifice, inversion of heirarchy, humiliation rituals, it's all around us.
