One article I read explained that because early Eros was feared for the mayhem he would cause to mortals' hearts, they feared him and sought to essentially strip him of his power. So they increasingly infantilized him to make him more dependent, and thus controlled, by his mother Aphrodite. Then when the Romans copied Greek mythology they just used his most recent iteration when making Cupid. --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera https://signavatar.com/26999_s.png <cite>BLAKUboy posted [p:960432324] in Why is Cup...
