Timor’s Family Tree

About Timor →

Family

• Mars(parent),Venus(parent),Cupid(sibling),Pavor(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

• Deimos(Greek)

  Deimos (Greek) and Timor (Roman) are counterparts — both personify fear 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 Deimos (dread) corresponds to Timor (fear).
