The Italian Cupid or Amor, the Greek Eros—god of love, son of Aphrodite, by either Zeus, Ares, or Hermes. Cupid was thought of as a beautiful but wanton boy, armed with a golden quiver full of ‘arrowed desires’. According to a late legend, Venus became jealous of beautiful Psyche, ‘the soul’, and ordered her son to inspire her with a love for the ugliest of all men. It happened that Cupid himself fell in love with Psyche and, invisible, visited her every night. He ordered her not to attempt to see him and when, overcome by curiosity, she violated his command, he deserted her. Psyche wandered about the world seeking him, overcoming many obstacles placed in her way by Venus, until at last Jupiter granted her immortality and the lovers were reunited.
