National Archaeological Museum of Naples (inv. nr. 9257). From Pompeii, House of Love punished - punished Eros: the little Eros, weeping, is brought back by a servant (perhaps Peitho, Persuasion) by his mother Venus who had punished him because he had turned on Mars in the desire for another woman. Behind Venus is the brother of Eros, Anteros, the personification of requited love, recognizable by the tapeworm in his hair, which looks at his brother.
