Who is Cupid?

When we think of Valentine's Day, visions of pink hearts, red roses, and one arrow-firing, diaper-clad chubby cherub instantly come to mind. But who is Cupid and how did he become the matchmaker mascot of February 14? Well, his roots are actually in mythology!

In Greek mythology, Cupid is the Greek god of love named Eros. As for his origins, just like with many gods, those accounts vary. In some early stories, Eros is believed to be the son of Chaos or Nyx. Later versions of the mythology claim he is the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty—by either Hermes, Ares, or Zeus. According to History.com, Eros was a handsome winged immortal who played with the emotions of gods and men by using golden arrows to ignite love and leaden arrows to incite aversion. Sound familiar?

Later, as the Romans reinterpreted Greek myths, Eros was renamed Cupid, which stems from the word for “desire.” He was known to them as the child of Venus and Mars, the goddess of love and the god of war. By the Hellenistic period, Roman art increasingly portrayed Cupid as a playful and mischievous putto—child-angels who are n**e, usually winged, and representative of pure love. That sounds more like the Cupid we know!

Due to this association with love, those 19th-century Victorians began depicting the cherubic version of Cupid on Valentine’s Day cards in a trend that we still see today!
