Eros Triumphant. The triumph of Eros (Cupid) over bestiality and other negative forces derives from the famous line in Virgil’s tenth Eclogue, “Omnia vincit Amor” (“Love conquers all”). The theme is often illustrated in postclassical art as Pan (or a satyr) subdued by the boy-god. Other depictions show an exultant young Cupid celebrating either the victory of love over impediments or his capture of another heart.
