The lines of all three of them go up to Zues and Hera, they are all siblings

Nope, Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus are siblings. And I'm kinda confused with the fact that Eros is not the son of Aphrodite (  ) |

-cracks knuckles- OK here we go. In some myths people describe Eros not as a son of Aphrodite but, one of the first gods out of Chaos and just a companion to Aphrodite not her son. Go figure.  |

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Then, there's also people saying that the father's either Ares, Hermes, or Hephaestus.
Poor guy.

Quite confusing but now I see the point. But which myth is often mentioned? Eros as companion of Aphrodite or as her son?

I guess as her son. Especially from the most popular myth of him and Psykhe.

Yeah, me too. So that's why when I checked the family tree, I was surprised to see Eros' name wasn't below Aphrodite's.

Truth be told, son of Aphrodite or not, he serves as an embodiment of an aspect of the Ancient Greeks, lives. For as a figure known to all of the setting as someone synonomous with love affection and attraction can only certainly be very close to the Goddess OF such aspects. The idea that she was his mother was probably used explain the relationship their myths created.

Well, IT'S WIKIPEDIA!!! The site can never be fully reliable! Besides, there are many myths and many tales regarding the relationships between gods and goddesses, many of which became confuzzled with time. I agree with Ares, but I still like my charrie having Eros for a son. ;D

I see Eros as Aphrodite's son as well if only for the fact that whether he is or not he is still very close to Aphrodite and she treats him as a son as far as I know. However I think it is much more likely that he was the son of the ancients and a few generations after the myth was used to explain things people started to doubt it and said he was the son of Aphrodite and no one could agree on whether he was the son of her husband, her lover, or another lover.
