Eros was the god of sex, so I’d say his rod was pretty important.

Damn, a distressing number of people in this thread don't seem to have gotten the joke.

Asclepius, of course. He had a staff with snakes intertwining all around that bitch.

Well, just one. The rod with two snakes is the caduceus.

And this is why Netflix cancelled Kaos.

if it was so fucking good, you didn't need to find out. you know it was going to happen

Yeah, after the first episode I told my wife it was a shame it would get cancelled.

Just about every Greek myth starts with Zues' raised rod.

Asclepius had his healing rod with the snake around it, Hermes had a rod with two snakes around it, Zeus had his lightning rod and Eros just had a bow.

I thought Zeus was holding lightning. I can't see a rod and it isn't mentioned anywhere.

You see when a god and a goose love each other very much ...
