the following from wiki:

Throughout Greek thought, there appear to be two sides to the conception of Eros; 
in the first, he is a primeval deity who embodies not only the force of erotic love 
but also the creative urge of ever-flowing nature, the firstborn Light for the 
coming into being and ordering of all things in the cosmos. In Hesiod's Theogony, 
the most famous Greek creation myth, Eros sprang forth from the primordial Chaos 
together with Gaea, the Earth, and Tartarus, the underworld; according to Aristophanes' 
play The Birds (c. 414 BC), he burgeons forth from an egg laid by Nyx (Night) conceived 
with Erebus (Darkness). In the Eleusinian Mysteries, he was worshiped as Protogonus, 
the first-born.
