Eros, the beloved son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, is the youngest son of Aphrodite and Ares. He is a naked little boy with a pair of shining wings. He roams with a bow and arrow. He mischievously shoots thrilling arrows to arouse the passion of love. He brings vitality to nature and grants the ability to reproduce. This lovely and naughty elf has two kinds of arrows: the golden-headed arrow that accelerates the birth of love and the lead-headed arrow that stops love. In addition, he also has a torch that illuminates the soul.

This little god of love often appears in mythology, for example, in the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece in the Argonautica, an epic poem by Apollonius of Rhodes in ancient Greece.

Phrixus was saved by a golden fleece given by the gods. To thank the gods, he sacrificed the sheep to Zeus, the king of all gods, and gave the golden fleece to King Aeetes, who in turn gave it to Ares, the god of war. Ares nailed it to an oak tree in the sacred forest of Ares and had a poisonous dragon guard it. The whole world believed that the golden fleece was a priceless treasure, and many heroes and princes dreamed of getting it. In order to get back the scepter and throne from his uncle who usurped the throne, Jason, the prince of Thessaly, was deceived by his uncle and took the Greek heroes on the big ship Argo to Colchis to get the golden fleece. With the help of Athena, the Argonauts reached their destination after going through untold hardships, but had no way to get the Golden Fleece from the dragon. Finally, with the help of Eros, the infatuated Princess Medea was shot by Eros' arrow. For love, she betrayed her father Aeetes, helped Jason get the Golden Fleece, killed her own brother who came to chase her, and left her hometown with Jason to start life in a distant country.

In Roman mythology, he is called Cupid, yes, the famous god of love Cupid.

When Cupid appears as a child, he is the assistant of Venus, the goddess of love. As a child, he is naughty and unruly, and plays with people's hearts as toys. The most representative story of Cupid's naughtiness is the story of Apollo and Daphne. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, it is written that the first love of the sun god is Daphne, the daughter of Peneus. This is not blind luck, but the result of Cupid's rage.

Apollo, the god of the sun, had just defeated Python and happened to pass by and saw the little god of love bending his bow and drawing the string, so he laughed at him, "Naughty boy, what's the use of such a powerful weapon? It is only suitable for shoulders like mine, so that I can accurately shoot wild beasts and enemies. I have just killed Python (its filthy body once occupied many acres of land) and its body is full of arrow feathers. As for you, you'd better use your torch to ignite the inexplicable flame of love and don't touch my honor!" Such words angered Cupid, so he raised his bow and shot the golden arrow at Apollo, and then shot another hateful lead arrow, which hit Daphne, the daughter of the river god.

Apollo, who was hit by the golden arrow, fell in love with Daphne, but Daphne hated Apollo. Apollo began to pursue Daphne madly, but the disgust caused by the lead arrow made Daphne avoid him. In order to get rid of Apollo, she exhausted her energy. Finally, when she ran to the river, she called for help from her father, the river god. The river god could not bear to see his daughter being harassed again, so he reluctantly turned Daphne into a laurel tree. Her legs turned into roots and deeply penetrated the earth, her hands turned into branches, and her beautiful hair turned into leaves. Apollo watched Daphne turn into a laurel tree, and he was extremely sad and cried while hugging the laurel tree. This tragedy was the result of Cupid's stubbornness and vengeance. The power of these two arrows also alluded to the impulsive and primitive driving force of love represented by Cupid.

In the Roman period, Cupid tended to be depicted as a little boy or even a toddler, and as a follower of Venus, sometimes he looked like an adult, but was still a child in size. However, there were exceptions, such as when people described the story of Cupid and Psyche, in which Cupid, as a husband, was still depicted as a strong young man. The story of Cupid and Psyche originally came from The Golden Ass, written by Apuleius in the second century AD. The story tells how Cupid and Psyche overcame many obstacles and finally became lovers. In this story, Cupid is not a character who promotes or breaks up other people's love, but becomes the protagonist in the pursuit of love.

The story begins because of Psyche's beauty. Because of her stunning appearance, Psyche is called "the second coming of the goddess of beauty". When Venus heard this rumor, she felt offended, so she sent her son Cupid to take revenge and let Psyche marry the ferocious monster. But surprisingly, Cupid fell in love with Psyche at first sight. Not only did he not let her marry the monster, but he also married her. Psyche was taken to a mysterious palace by Cupid and could only meet him in the dark every night, so she had never seen his true face. One day, Psyche's curiosity drove her to light a lamp at night to see Cupid's face clearly, but she accidentally hurt him and lost his power of love. In order to save Cupid, Psyche went to Venus to plead for mercy, embarked on a difficult journey, and accepted a series of tests. In the end, she successfully restored Cupid's power of love, reunited with him, and received the blessings of the gods, becoming a member of the gods and living a happy life.

The story of Cupid and Psyche symbolizes the trials and sacrifices of love. It emphasizes that love requires loyalty, trust, and self-sacrifice to overcome all kinds of difficulties. Their story has also become a common subject for artists to show themes such as love, beauty, wisdom, loyalty and curiosity.

The tenth chapter of "Eclogues" by the Roman poet Virgil wrote: Love conquers all, let us succumb to love!

In poetry, Cupid is used as the embodiment of "love", meaning that love can conquer all aspects of human civilization. Later, "love conquers everything" gradually evolved into an artistic theme, and artists often placed Cupid above things that symbolize the achievements of civilization in their works. It is worth mentioning that the lion is an important element that appears with Cupid, and the depiction of Cupid and the lion together has rich symbolic meaning. The lion, which is often considered a symbol of strength, power and courage, and sometimes represents pride and anger, is often put together with Cupid, the god of love, as a contrast to show the power of love to overcome these strong emotions.

But overall, the image of Cupid, also known as Eros, is relatively fixed: handsome, with wings and naked.

But what the hell is this in front of me?

The crazy rock guitarist wearing red long underwear and a bungee cord tied to his body had nothing to do with Cupid.

The world depicted in Mad Max is a wasteland world, a world that is so passionate and flamboyant. Expensive modified cars will roll, tear, and collide in the air for a moment of glory. The appeal of rock is brought to its extreme in the performances of rock artists. Hormones continue to overflow, and the voice of "Witness" continues to echo in the ears. "Mad Max" has integrated "cool" into every minute and every second.

The scorching sun and the endless desert still ignited his passion for rock and roll, and he was able to release it to his heart's content. During the long performance, he began to think about the meaning of the role he played, and inspiration gradually accumulated with his performance, and this was the psychedelic rhythm warrior.

According to the setting of the movie, the "Rhythm Warriors" was a musical prodigy when he was young, and was raised by his musician mother. At that time, the end of the world had come, order had collapsed, and music... became a synonym for uselessness. No one cared about art, and at that time, the famous paintings in the museum were not as valuable as a glass of clean water... No, in this doomsday, water is very precious, especially clean and pollution-free water, which is hard currency.

Those famous paintings are only fit to be used for burning.

As for other arts, they have become unworthy of mention.

This is even more true for music. Her mother may be the best musician in the world. But this musician can only live a hard life, constantly trying to find ways to support herself and her children.

Suddenly one day, a group of thugs... These things are everywhere in the wasteland, and anyone can become a thug. Burning, killing and looting are too common for a little bit of resources... This group of thugs rushed into the settlement where the musical prodigy lived.

The leader of this group of thugs, the immortal old Joe, noticed the child.

"Immortal Joe" is actually named Joe Moore, a former Australian Army veteran who participated in the "Oil War" and was considered a war hero. After losing the war, Joe Moore returned home after retiring. Australia at that time was already showing signs of anarchy, and he used his prestige to gather a group of veterans to form the "Motorcycle Party", including "Major Kalashnikov" (later the founder of "Bullet Farm").

The "Oil War" is a worldwide war for resources imagined in the comics, which later evolved into a nuclear war. As the situation became more chaotic, more and more people joined various criminal gangs to protect themselves, which further accelerated the spread of anarchy on the continent. In fact, the Australian government at the time could only control a few large cities. After leaving the city, the whole country was already in chaos. Joe Moore's original idea was actually very simple, which was to survive with this group of veterans. At the beginning, they still had some principles of their own, such as not attacking civilians and never harming women and children, but the arrival of the "nuclear winter" made everyone lose their principles.

No one knows which side started the nuclear war first, but it is known that Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and other big cities were all hit. Fortunately, Joe Moore and his "Motorcycle Gang" were often active in the suburbs and were not affected. However, the doomsday scene made many of his men crazy. They would fight for a pack of cigarettes and shoot homeless old men for a bucket of biscuits. At first, Joe tried to restrain them with his prestige, but gradually he could not control the spread of this madness, and finally he gave up these principles.

After the two-year nuclear winter, the survivors Joe and his "Motorcycle Gang" began to move frequently, looking for any available resources. One day, they encountered a group of "robbers" composed of former MFP police officers torturing a group of civilians. Joe Moore sent his "Motorcycle Gang" to attack them from behind. The robbers left several bodies and fled quickly. But the "Motorcycle Gang" did not let the group of civilians go. The women among them were used as tools for fun, and the men were shot after their property was looted. During the looting of property, a man with a cut nose caught Joe Moore's attention. He realized that the group of looters were actually questioning this man before they were driven away. So Joe Moore promised to guarantee his safety, but on the condition that he must tell the secret. The man with a cut nose called himself Brody. He was originally a banker. On the way to escape with his family, he once came to a fortress composed of three high mountains. It is said that these mountains are connected to underground rivers, where there is an inexhaustible source of clean water. Hearing this, Joe was overjoyed and immediately decided to take the "motorcycle gang" and Brody there, intending to take the fortress for himself. However, Joe Moore was too naive. The people occupying the fortress were not good people. When Joe saw the fortress with his own eyes, he realized that it was impossible to do it. The mountain was full of countless shooting holes, and the only way to go up was a simple man-powered lifting platform. Joe, who was exhausted, had to show weakness and said that he was just here to trade and was willing to exchange the women they captured for some clean water. However, before he finished his proposal, he was attacked by the fortress. After losing several men, Joe had to retreat and stationed in an abandoned lead mine. How could Joe Moore, who had suffered a great loss, swallow this breath? He planned to rest and then attack the fortress. At this time, Brody reminded him that it would be impossible to force such a place, and he must outsmart it. Three days later, the "Bikers" led by Major Kalashnikov stormed the main tower of the fortress with many heavy weapons, while Joe himself and several elite men used a lizard tied to a rope to quietly climb the back of the secondary tower. After two days of fierce fighting, the "Bikers" on the ground suffered countless casualties. Just when everyone had given up hope and planned to retreat, Joe Moore appeared on the top of the main tower and threw the warlord who occupied the fortress from the top of the tower, announcing that the fortress had changed hands. From then on, he won the title of "Immortal Joe".

"Immortal Joe" was very smart. He knew that he could not hold the fortress for a long time just by relying on it. He asked his most trusted adjutant, Major Kalashnikov, to occupy the lead mine they had passed by earlier, transform the heavy equipment there to produce weapons and bullets, and also echo with the "fortress". Once either side was attacked, the other side could rush out of the city to help. "Immortal Joe" knew very well that people in desperate situations could do anything, but as long as they were given a little sweetness, these people would be easy to control. So he did not take the precious water resources for himself, but distributed them to the public regularly, which made the "fortress" a place for wanderers in that area and gradually developed into a town. Two years later, they also found an oil refinery not far from the fortress, and a large amount of crude oil was stored in the oil tanks in the plant area. "Immortal Joe" selected some experienced people from the wanderers under the fortress and asked Brody to take them to occupy the refinery and start refining gasoline. This Brody later became the "mayor" of "Gasoline Town" and was known as the "cannibal."

In "Mad Max", they call this crudely processed gasoline "Guzzolene", which is not the official name of gasoline in English, "gasoline". Because the oil produced in "Gasoline Town" is very rough, the combustion efficiency is very low, and there is not much speed even if the accelerator is pressed to the bottom, so there is a shot in the movie where Max takes some refined gasoline and manually sprays it into the engine. From then on, a stable triangle alliance was formed, with "Fortress" using water to produce crops and daily necessities; "Bullet Farm" producing weapon consumables; and "Gasoline Town" producing gasoline. "Immortal Joe" is of course the leader of this alliance, and he has become the local emperor of that area.

Before occupying the "Fortress", "Immortal Joe" had two children who survived, both of whom were born to women captured during the "Motorcycle Gang" period. However, the eldest child was born with a deformity and was named Croesus (meaning "giant"); the second child, Ricktu, was physically strong, but not very smart and had a bad temper. Both children were carefully taken care of and raised, but "Immortal Joe" still couldn't hide his desire to continue the family line, and kept looking for someone to try.

"Immortal Joe" used to be strong and full of personal charm, but he liked to inhale a chromium-lead compound spray (a substance extracted from the lead mine of the "Bullet Farm"), which later caused him to have lung cancer and lymphoma at the same time, gradually festering all over his body and having difficulty breathing. In the later period, when he wanted to appear in front of the public, he had to try his best to hide his illness. He had to first cover his body with white talcum powder and then wear a transparent armor with medals.

In order to imitate the appearance of "Immortal Joe", the "War Boys" under him also like to paint their bodies white. "Immortal Joe" became a god in one battle when he captured the "Fortress" and became a role model in the hearts of young people in the wasteland at that time. So he selected relatively healthy teenagers from the wanderers waiting for charity under the "Fortress" to enter his war learning class and called them "War Boys". After being selected, all "War Boys" had to give up their original names and use simpler nicknames, such as Nux, who later joined Max's group, and his former spearman "Slit".

"Immortal Joe" also used a religion he invented ("Cult of the V8") to strengthen his control over these "war boys" and portray himself as the incarnation of the "God of the V8 Engine" on earth. As long as they "die gloriously" in the war, they can ascend to "Valhalla" and drink and have fun with the gods all day long. It is a pure cult that blends "fetishism", "Christianity" and Norse mythology. Every "war boy" is extremely fanatical. When they reach a certain age, they will get chromium-lead compound spray. Usually they like to inhale this mist to put themselves into a fantasy of communicating with the "True God of V8". Once they encounter a critical moment in the war, they will inhale a large amount of it and enter a state of madness, ready to sacrifice themselves for "Immortal Joe" at any time. Due to long-term use of this substance, almost all "war boys" have some chronic diseases, the most common of which is lymphoma. Most of them actually do not live beyond the age of 40. However, in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, they usually use blood transfusion therapy, which is to find some wanderers who look healthier in the wasteland, and transfuse their blood to the weak "war boys" to keep them alive temporarily.

At the same time, Immortal Joe will also pay attention to some "special talents", such as the "Psychedelic Rhythm Warrior".

"Immortal Joe" accidentally found him when he retreated to the abandoned lead mine. At that time, he was holding his mother's head tightly and fell into a coma. Later, he was taken in by "Immortal Joe", showing an unusual musical talent. He was selected as the guitarist of the "War Boys" team, playing violent music to stimulate their adrenaline when they went out. "Faceless Guitar Man" was born before the "Nuclear War". His mother was a band guitarist. In the wasteland period, they were captured by a group of looters. His mother was insulted in front of him and then beheaded. Later, after being rescued, "Faceless Guitar Man" made a mask with his mother's scalp. He had to wear it every time he played, pretending that his mother was still performing on the stage. "Immortal Joe" took a fancy to his musical talent and decided to take him in and train him to be a battlefield singer. Old Joe ordered him that no matter how chaotic the battlefield was, the music could not stop. In order to keep the passion for playing at all times, the rhythm warrior peeled off his mother's face and put it on his head, deciding to always use the face of his mother screaming at the moment before her death to express his inner rage. A dark past, a painful heart, and hysterical venting—this is the connotation of this character.

Well, this is the person Eros is cosplaying as right now!

"So...what's going on with him? Is he in his rebellious phase?"
