I'm wondering if Pencils is using Hesiod's versions of these entities, though, from whom the oldest entities in existence /period/ are Nyx, Erebus, and Tartarus, followed immediately by Eros.
In which case Eros is a **ridiculously** powerful entity that makes Titans and gods dance to his tune.
If Eros is of the same order of entity as Tartarus, which unlike humans has an ongoing presence in Equestria, then he wouldn't be a human either. Of course, he was trapped in a stone, so my guess is he's another human, just differently affected. Maybe mad, maybe lying.
(Personal headcanon having nothing to do with this comic strip, that I've had since we heard of Tartarus in Equestria: Eros actually_*made_* Equestria, and gave it the Elements of Harmony to protect it, in order to shelter creatures of Love from creatures of Darkness, the Void and the Abyss.)
