Cupid is a figure from Roman mythology associated with love and attraction. He is usually shown as a winged child carrying a bow and arrows. According to mythology, anyone hit by Cupid’s arrow falls in love. Over time, Cupid became strongly connected with Valentine’s Day and romantic symbolism worldwide. That is why heart symbols, arrows, and Cupid images are common during Valentine’s celebrations. Honestly, most people today know Cupid more as a pop-culture symbol of romance rather than a mythological character with detailed history.
