Pavor’s Family Tree

About Pavor →

Family

• Mars(parent),Venus(parent),Cupid(sibling),Timor(sibling)— Consort

  Mars and Venus produced Cupid, Timor, Pavor, and Harmonia. Their affair was famously discovered by Vulcan, who trapped the lovers in an unbreakable net.

  ⚠ Cicero (De Natura Deorum 3.23) lists multiple Cupids with different parentages. The Mars-Venus parentage follows Hyginus and the dominant Roman tradition.

Equivalent to

• Phobos(Greek)

  Phobos (Greek) and Pavor (Roman) are counterparts — both personify terror/panic as sons of the war god and love goddess.

  ⚠ Roman fear-personifications (Timor, Metus, Pavor, Formido) overlap and different Latin authors map them to Phobos and Deimos inconsistently. This equivalence follows the pairing where Phobos (panic/rout) corresponds to Pavor (terror).
