When Mercutio says to Romeo "borrow Cupid's wings and soar with them above a common bound" in Act 1 Scene 4 he is alluding to Cupid, the love-god. Juliet's soliloquy in Act 3 Scene 2 "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds" is an allusion to the chariot of Helios the sun-god; she alludes further to Phaethon, who drove the chariot at a reckless speed and crashed it. Likewise in the balcony scene Juliet says "at lover's perjuries, they say, Jove laughs." an allusion to Jupiter, also called Jove, the chief Roman god, and a devious lover himself.

In Act III of Romeo and Juliet, there is an allusion to the mythological figure of Cupid, the god of love. When Mercutio is fatally wounded, he curses the houses of Montague and Capulet, calling on "A plague o' both your houses!" This alludes to Cupid's arrows, which were believed to cause love and passion, but here bring about destruction and tragedy.
