In Greek mythology, Eros fell in love with a mortal princess named Psyche, not himself. Psyche had been cursed by Aphrodite, leading Eros to develop feelings for her while carrying out his mother's orders. The confusion may arise from the allegory of self-love and self-acceptance symbolized by the story of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection.
