** (And thanks for pointing out Kapparis' mix-up re. the statue of Eros at Thespiae: I've now fixed this. McClure and Funke both seem to think that the statue was specifically installed in the sanctuary of Eros, so I would presume that it would have been dedicated to him?)

**:Yes, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.%209.27 Pausanias 9.27.3–4] makes it pretty clear, without saying so explicitly, that the statue was in the sanctuary of Eros (and so almost certainly dedicated to him). Apparently by Pausanias's time Praxiteles's statue had been replaced by a copy produced by the Athenian sculptor Menodoros. The original had been taken to Rome by Caligula, returned by Claudius, and then carried off again by Nero. Pausanias says it was destroyed in a fire, presumably the great fire of A.D. 64.

In response to the coordinator comment below, I'm going to go ahead and '''support''' here. I still think that the ancient sources for some of the information given should be stated more explicitly, but that is easily done, and I'm sure the nominator will get around to it. (I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure about FAC etiquette and I don't want to step on anyone's toes.) Having read through the other remarks above, I will add that I think [[User:UndercoverClassicist|UC]]'s comments are excellent, and I'd rather see some of their remaining misgivings about content addressed first; fussing about the citation of ancient sources is considerably less important.

Four weeks have passed, and only one general support has been received. Unless this nomination shows significant progress toward a consensus for promotion within the next three or four days, I'm afraid it will have to be archived.
