Cupid is the chubby little boy with wings that we see on Valentine’s day cards. He carries a bowl and arrow and is a symbol of romance. In ancient Greece and Rome, Cupid (The Greeks called him Eros) was the God of love. He was invisible and flew around shooting people with his arrows. The people who he shoot fell in love with the first person they met. Sometimes, Cupid played cruel jokes on people and made them fall in love with animals or the people they hated.
Once Cupid cut himself with his own arrow by accident and fell in love with a human named psyche. She became his wife, and after many problems they had a child called Pleasure.
Today, Cupid is still making people happy and sad, breaking hearts and causing problems. Just the same, most of us think that love is worth all the trouble.
