Cupid is often depicted as a cherubic figure in art and literature, typically characterized by his youthful appearance and playful demeanor. However, in classical mythology, he is more accurately described as the Roman god of love, equivalent to the Greek god Eros. While cherubs are angelic beings associated with divine love and protection, Cupid's role encompasses a broader range of romantic and erotic love, making him distinct from traditional cherubs.
