Cupid, also known as Eros in Greek mythology, is the god of love, desire, and affection. He is typically depicted as a winged child or young man, often carrying a bow and arrows.

In Roman mythology, Cupid is the son of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. His arrows are said to have the power to instill love in the hearts of those they strike. One type is golden and fills the victim with desire, and the other type is leaden and fills the victim with aversion.

While frequently portrayed as mischievous and playful, Cupid's actions often have significant and sometimes chaotic consequences. Myths often focus on the power of love and its irrational, consuming nature.

He is often associated with weddings and romantic relationships and remains a popular symbol of love and Valentine's Day. His tales explore the complexities of attraction, passion, and the unpredictable nature of the human heart.
