Who started the Myth of Cupid??

Answer 1

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was the goddess of love, and Eros was her son. The Romans took the Greek myths, but gave the gods different names. The Roman goddess of love was Venus, and her son was Cupid. He was sometimes portrayed as a child, and sometimes as a man. With wings.

Answer 2

The belief in Cupid is many centuries old. The Rig
Veda, which is now accepted to be 8000 years old,
mentions ships with 100 oars. The Buddhist Jataka
stories wrote about large Indian ships carrying seven
hundred people. They went around the world many a
times. Aithereya Brahmana, which is a part of the
Vedas, mentions Telugu people as one of the earliest
tribes. History says that Telugu King Samudra Gupta
went around the world several times. Many cognate words
have formed due to this interaction, and many more
preior to him.

(1) The god of love in Telugu literature is called
Kaamudu, the word is cognate with Cupid.

(2) In some old European drawings, the Cupid is shown
wearing blind-folds. Gamta, a word which is cognate
with Cupid, means 'blind-folds' in Telugu.

(3) Cupid is shown shooting arrows in to hearts of
persons to generate love. The ancient texts of India
say that heart is the seat of love. Gumde, a word which
is cognate with Cupid, means 'heart' in Telugu.

(4) Cupid is described as a small child. Gumta, a word
which is cognate with Cupid, means 'a small child' in
Telugu.

The above words are used in Telugu for more than
1000 years.

Answer 3

yep, i was going to say the same what Robin W
had said. I'm in college and Humanity is one of my fave courses of all my years in College. Also have you notice you know the lil baby angel like creatures are called Phuttos. and the plurals are Phutia
and they usally around all polytheistic like faiths. I mean even in the Romans and Greeks had them in statues and in thier beliefs but, even during the Start and even today in Christianity has arts which depicts the same creatures. During the
Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo had many arts which had the phuttos (baby angel-like creatues). What I found very wierd is even in the Hindu temples, like the Romans on the Pedaments where the Gods are depited, on the sides there are Phuttos has well?! I know I was shocked. but yeah there is alot of history behind it, I say it's good to do reseach. My proffesors website has many artworks in them you should check it out if you get the chance.
