Mythology - Roman - Cupid
Cupid was the Roman god of desire, erotic love, and physical attraction. Often portrayed as either a small chubby boy with wings or a tall beautiful young man with wings, he always carries his signature bow and quiver of arrows which have the ability to either make people fall helplessly in love or blindly hate one another. He was the son of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, though some stories say his father was Mercury, messenger of the gods, guide to the Underworld, god of thieves, commerce, and travelers. His wife was Psyche, a mortal princess made immortal, who became the goddess of the soul and mind, the journey in life from innocence to wisdom.
