In Ancient Greece, consuming quinces and tossing apples at women were fixtures of this type of love magic. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this “lustful” type of love magic used primarily by men, in contrast to the adultery-preventing philia spells cast by women. This type of love magic shares its name with a love god whose Roman counterpart is Cupid.

ANSWER: eros [prompt on erotic magic by asking “what’s the root word?”]

[10h] The aphrodisiac-imparting quality of this artifact, which was discovered in the Euboean colony of Pithecusae, is implied by an inscription warning that Aphrodite would “seize [its user] instantly.” This artifact shares its name with a Schliemann-discovered Mycenean artifact decorated with doves.

ANSWER: Nestor’s Cup [or the Cup of Nestor; prompt on dove cup] (Schliemann believed that the birds on Nestor’s Cup are doves; however, modern scholars have suggested that they are instead falcons.)

[10m] This emperor was allegedly driven mad after his wife, Caesonia, gave him a love potion. As a child, this emperor was dubbed “little boot” by his father’s soldiers.

ANSWER: Caligula [or Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus]
