Yes, although there are many different versions of the story, Cupid is practically the GOD of love even though his mother was the goddess. According to Hesoid's Theogony, he sprang forth from Chaos. According to Plato's Symposium, he was conceived from Poros and Penia at Aphrodite's birthday. In Aristophanes' play the birds, he came from an egg laid by Nyx conceived by Ereubus. Cupid is the Greek equivalent of Eros. He was basically a naked baby with wings. Cupid combines his Aphrodite's match making skills with Ares' fighting skills. This is why Cupid shoots arrows at people that make them fall in love.
