I'm supposed to write a poem using Anteros as a promp. I looked him up online but I have no idea what the internet is telling me about him.

Please. Someone explain to me who Anteros is as if I were a 5-year old. gonk

As far as I can tell, Anteros is the god of requited love (i.e., when you love someone and they love you back). He is Eros' brother, and the son of Aphrodite. According to the Wikipedia article, he has butterfly wings and golden hair, but it is Wikipedia, so you never know. Good luck!

Anteros is Eros' exact opposite. He punishes those who scorn another's love. I like to think of him as a Debby Downer.

Dionysus or Bacchus
