EROS

Eros (Roman name, Cupid) was the winged cherub god of love (although later he was represented as a handsome young man). He was often a companion of his mother, Aphrodite, the goddess of love. He sometimes carried a flower but usually he was depicted as having a bow with which he shot darts into the hearts of men and women to make them love each other.
