Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
CUPID (Cupido, " desire ") , the Latin name for the god of love,
EROS
  (q.v.).
Cupid
  is generally identical with Amor. The
idea
  of the god of love in
Roman
 
poetry
  is due to the
influence
  of Alexandrian poets and artists, in whose hands he degenerated into a mischievous boy with essentially human characteristics. His usual attribute is the bow. For the
story
  of
Cupid
  and
Psyche
 , see under
PSYCHE
