Detailed explanation-1: -There are many cultures with their own origin stories, but the ones we most closely associated with the Cupid we know and love today are those of the Romans and Greeks. From Roman mythology, we get the name Cupid, which means “to desire”, which derives from the Latin word cupere.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cupid and Greek Mythology In one story from ancient Greek mythology, which was later retold by Roman authors, Cupid (Eros) shot a golden arrow at Apollo, who fell madly in love with the nymph Daphne, but then launched a leaden arrow at Daphne so she would be repulsed by him.
Detailed explanation-3: -In contemporary popular culture, Cupid is shown drawing his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine’s Day. Cupid’s powers are similar, though not identical, to Kamadeva, the Hindu god of human love.
