Zusammenfassung:	Robert Bridges' poem "EROS" is addressed to a statue of the god. If the "daemon" or "genius" of Bridges' poem is identified with some statue of Eros, the "Genius of the Vatican" (the Eros Centocelle) seems a logical choice. There is sublimity and precision in Bridges' work that Demetrius, the Athenian orator, recognized in the works of Pheidian sculpture, which are distinguished in the period of Praxiteles.
