Extrait du document
(Desire) Roman God of love, son of
Venus and possibly of Vulcan, the fire god. Cupid is
usually represented as a winged boy or fat baby, often
blindfolded to denote his irresponsible nature, and
carrying a bow and arrows, used to shoot his victims.
Cupid is a Roman adaptation of the Greek god Eros.
He was of no great importance except to writers such
as Virgil (in the Aeneid) and to many artists.
