Cupid is associated with love because he is the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards holding a bow and arrows. He is believed to be able to use magical arrows to inspire feelings of love. What else do you know about cupid?

Huh? Those magical arrows do not deliver nice feelings? They are meant to inflict pain and heart aches? This is a totally new angle to look at what cupid does! Interesting take on the subject! Hmm... I wonder...
