Eros (or Cupid in Roman mythology)
Some allusions to Eros can include references to Cupid, the Greek god of love, arrows or bows symbolizing love or desire, or using the term "Eros" itself to refer to passionate or romantic love. Writers and artists often use these allusions to evoke themes of desire, attraction, and relationships in their work.
Eros, also known as Cupid, was depicted as a young man, always carrying his bow and arrows [of love]. Anyone would fall in love, if touched by Eros' arrows. Even the Gods. He was also sometimes portrayed blindfolded, because love is blind.
