Eros was a small boy who never grew up. He had a bow and a set of two arrows. One of the arrows, if shot into the heart, would cause an undying love. The other arrow produced an undying indifference. Eros often amused himself by shooting one person with the love arrow and another person with the indifference arrow and making sure they met. Eros would then stand by, laughing, as the love-struck person would spend their life in persuit of the indifferent one.

Eros was considered to be the son of Aphrodite and Hermes although some legend describe him as being born at the beginning of Earth. The Romans renamed him Cupid.
