Eros.
Since Aphrodite is the Greek name for the Goddess of Love, then the Greek name for her son, Eros, is the correct answer. The Roman name for him is more common, which is Cupid.
Edit: To be more correct, Eros is the God of physical love, more commonly known as lust. It's rather strange, then, that he should be the symbol used in the celebration of Valentine's Day. Aphrodite (Venus), the Goddess of emotional love (passion), is more suited as a symbol for this day.

Eros was Aphrodite's son, more commonly known to modern culture as Cupid. Eros is typically shown as a infant with bow and arrows, a god of love, but in some tales is a full grown man. In one myth he marries Psyche, a beautiful mortal he was supposed to shame in order to make his jealous mother seem more beautiful. He is also known as the god of men's love (Aphrodite of women's love.)

Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love and beauty. If a woman is described as an Aphrodite, or like an Aphrodite, it means that she is very beautiful or dressed up =)

Eros would probably look HOT! I mean, how else would a god of love look...I just REFUSE to believe he looked all chubby (like Cupid). That's proabaly him as a young boy
