God whose name sounds similar to his missiles (4)

I believe the answer is:

eros

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Arrow-shooting god" , "Greek god of sexual love, Cupid to the Romans" , "Piccadilly 14 ac statue" , "Circus boy" , "Statue of love-god in Piccadilly Circus in London" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
