When we all think of Cupid on Valentine's Day we think of a chubby, adorable infant with angel wings shooting a heart bow and making people fall in love. But is what we really know about Cupid true? Cupid has multiple names and several possible origins, however, all associated with love. Cupido, from Roman mythology, meaning desire. In Latin, Cupid is Amor, meaning love. In Greek Mythology, Cupid was known as Eros who was portrayed as a slender little boy with arrows, but when the Romans conquered the Greeks that quickly changed, to the little chubby boy we are most familiar with on Valentine’s Day. Cupid has always been seen to have a bow and arrow to shoot his power of love when we wanted to, but many don’t know that he actually had two bows; one being all golden and ice and sharp to make people fall in love, but the other was dull(Which would have hurt more when you got struck) to make people break up so they can find their one true love. I guess a little pain is a small price to pay to eventually find true love.
