Eros, Sefton Park
Eros, Sefton Park
The figure standing on top of SJ3787 : Shaftesbury Memorial and Eros Fountain, Sefton Park is Anteros, one of the Greek Gods of Requited Love which has become commonly (mistakenly) known as Eros (Lloyd & Mitchinson (2006) The book of general ignorance "Because of the bow and the nudity... everybody assumed it was Eros, the Greek god of love"). The aluminium Eros on this fountain is a replacement of the original, which was too badly corroded for outdoor use and is now on display in the National Conservation Centre in Liverpool. The original represents an early use of aluminium sculpture
