Cupid was supposed to kill Psyche but instead, he fell in love with her. His wife, Psyche, he loved dearly. Then one day, her friends told her to take a look at Cupid and she did, and Cupid punished her and went away. The consequenses were severe and she lost Cupid. Answer 2: Yes, it was sad so far. But that is not the end of the story. Venus was the one who had ordered Cupid to kill Psyche. When he did not, Venus gave Psyche several tasks, supposedly impossible. The last one was to fetch a box from the Underworld. It contained the beauty of Proserpina, Venus told her. Psyche fetched it, but out of curiosity opened it and out came lethal fumes. Psyche fainted but before the fumes had killed her Cupid came to the rescue. He realised that he still loved her and asked Zeus's permission to marry her, even though she was a mortal. And they married. Now she was Cupid's wife, and he never 'ditched her'.
One of the most ancient sources, Hesiod, stated that Eros was a primordial god.
He had no parents. According to Hesiod, Eros sprang into existence, fourth in the Greek pantheon after Chaos, Gaia, and Tartarus. Parmenides places Eros first on this list.
Later writers said he was the child of Nyx (Night) and Erebus (Darkness).
Aristophanes tells the story that Nyx planted a "germless egg" deep in Erebus, and after a countless amount of time Eros sprang forth from it. Afterwars Eros mated with Chaos in the depths of Tartarus, and the human race was born.
