Cupid. Known as Eros in Roman myth, this Greek boy has a quiver of arrows, a set of wings, and a perverted job to do... making erotic love. He's always nude (or in a diaper) in his many appearances in art, poetry, literature. His parents, Ares (God of War) and Aphrodite (Goddess of Love), maybe fought enough to drive him out of the house at a young age? Some depictions of this kid show two arrows: lead-tipped for hatred, gold-tipped for love. Valentine's Day wouldn't be the same without him!
