Peter Osgood's love god (4)

I believe the answer is:

eros

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'love god' is the definition.
(Greek god of love)

'peter osgood's' is the wordplay.
'EROS' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Greek god of love - see statue in Piccadilly" , "Love-god's statue in Piccadilly" , "Circus boy" , "Deity" , "Winged archer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
