Trivia: Cupid, the Roman god of erotic love, is often depicted holding what?
A helm
A sword
A blindfold
A bow
The correct answer is A bow
So why is this answer correct? : Cupid is one of the most familiar deities of love, but he isn’t the first. The cherubic, bow-toting god is associated with the Greek god Eros (which forms the root of the word “erotic”) and is the son of Ares, the god of war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The Roman poet Ovid wrote that Cupid’s arrows have the ability to cause uncontrollable lust or revulsion.
