task 009 -- - “we should just kiss like real people do.”
“ cupid, which means “desire” in latin, was the god of desire, affection, and erotic love, in roman mythology. he is considered to be the roman counterpart of the greek god eros. all of cupid’s myths revolve around love in some form— while most gods truly represent what they reign over, there are not many who do so as well as cupid.
it was said that anyone who was shot by one of cupid’s arrows, either mortal or a deity, would be filled with uncontrollable desire. the roman version of the god of desire retained those characteristics, which gives us the cupid that we all know today. cupid’s golden arrow stood for true love while his leaden arrow stood for sensual passion. this explains why cupid was associated with many different types of love, including romantic and erotic. ”
