Plump, squeezable, charming and wonderfully innocent except for that bow and arrow in his hands. But don t let that baby face fool you. Behind Cupid s comely eyes lies all the formidable power one would expect from a veritable god, which is exactly what Cupid is. Cupid is none other than the son of Mercury, god of commerce, and Venus, goddess of love. Cupid himself is the god of love.
Cupid is a playful god who likes to scamper about shooting tender golden-tipped arrows.
His arrows gracefully fly through the air carrying with them the promise of eternal happiness. Once struck, the objects of Cupid s aim are overcome by a desire so passionate, and a love so fiery, that they can never be extinguished. No one in the world could be more fortunate than two people shot through the heart with Cupid s arrow. The bliss that awaits those who have been so blessed by the god of love is beyond what anyone could ever dream of. Certainly there will be long periods of staring dreamily into one another s eyes.
