In Greek myth, Cupid was known as Eros.
Aphrodite was Eros's mother. He did not have a wife in the Greek myth. However in a Roman story he was married to Psyche. Psyche was first Eros's lover then after a lot of feuds between the goddess Aphrodite they married.
He had a brother, Anteros, born of Aphrodite and Ares so that the lonely Eros could have a playmate. Anteros, with Eros, was one of a host of winged love gods called Erotes, who were ever-youthful, winged gods of love. Hesiod places Eros (love) and Himeros (desire) at being present at the time of Aphrodite's emergence from the sea. They were either born with her or of her. Pothos (passion) was a later addition to the myth. The myth around Anteros is unconnected to the origin myth of the Erotes, as far as I can tell.
Psyche married Cupid; it is a Roman myth, not Greek.
Depending on the mythology there is either one or two generations between Eros and Poseidon. In one myth, Eros comes from the first generation and Poseidon the third. In other mythology Poseidon comes from the third generation and Eros from the fourth and final generation of Greek gods.
The moral of the myth of Psyche and Eros is that love transcends physical appearance and challenges. It emphasizes the importance of trust, perseverance, and the strength of true love to overcome obstacles and lead to a deeper connection between partners. It also highlights the power of forgiveness and redemption in relationships.
In the myth, Eros hit Psyche with an arrow to make her fall in love with the most vile and despicable creature. However, he accidentally pricked himself with his own arrow and fell in love with her instead.
Eros shot Hades with the arrow to make him fall in love with Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. This action led to the myth of Hades abducting Persephone and taking her to the underworld, sparking the cycle of seasons in Greek mythology.
