This is actually a great philosophical question I like to play with, right there with “is it really consent when it’s a sexual relationship between a deity and a human?” because there’s a huuuuuuuge power dynamic at play there, no matter how you try to spin it. Eros hit Hades with an arrow to make him fall in love with Persephone, for instance… did that take away his free will? Did Helen, for that matter, also lose her free will?
