Many people don't know what or how people fall in love. The answer lies in Eros or Cupid, the god of love in Greek mythology. Mythology is a group of stories that explain a natural phenomenon or something in life. The purpose of mythology is to state the problems of life and allow everyone to connect to the past. In Greek mythology, Eros or Cupid was the reason for love. Eros/Cupid explains how people fall in love or even how it came to be. Eros/Cupid is the god of love, passion and sexual desire. He is the son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Aries, the god of war. He married Psyche and had children Volupta and Nyx. Eros/Cupid has many powers. He has the power to bring love to gods and mortals. He also has the power to shoot arrows of love and hatred. His arrows of love were golden with dove feathers and his arrows of hatred were lead with owl feathers. Eros/Cupid appears to be a little naked and winged boy. He was also considered a grown man, as there was a curse that Aphrodite's second son would cause Eros/Cupid to age. He was also blindfolded because they believed love was blind. It was believed that Eros/Cupid was born from a silver egg. He celebrated Eros Day on January 22. Unlike other gods and goddesses, Eros has a wacky history. The story is called Eros/Cupid and Psyche.
