Sex sex fall in love~
I mean it does bother me that a supposed greek god is saying stuff ''oh no i matched two men that will NEVER work'' like bruh XD
O.o
"Ancient Greece understood love was"?
Like more than the chinese understand love?
I love greek mythology, but i never read about cupid. Can you expand a bit more on that topic?
Cupid is the roman equivalent of Eros, strictly speaking, but in this story they're interchangeable. Eros himself represent SEXUAL love, not just love in general, and he's even referred as "a monster even the gods fear" in some versions of his myth with Pysche, which shows a bit how the Greek thought of love. The sort of love Eros represented was seen as a form of madness, as a punishment even (which is why Aphrodite's punishments sometimes were about making others fall in love with the worst person/animal/object possible).
The Greek had different nuances or words for love (agápe, philia, éros, storge), which represented different aspects of it (love for the gods, friendship or love between equals, sexual love -which isn't necessarily considered 'between equals', btw-, and familial or parental love). Sexual love, in particular, wasn't seen as something positive, rather as something to be afraid of, because it could lead you to do really stupid things. Again, a form of madness.
Which is why calling Eros' arrows as an inefficient way of making people falling is... missing the point a little. Of course Eros uses a literal weapon to do his job, he's someone you should be afraid of. In some myths he's Aphrodite's son, but there are other myths in which he's one of the primordial gods (meaning he existed before the classic Olympians and even the titans). Basically, he's no joke in Greek mythology. We just... kinda turned him into one as time went by (and probably the Romans contributed a lot to this).
My nerd self couldn't stop thinking that this would be waaaay more interesting if Cupid was more like Eros in the mythology, since the way Ancient Greece understood love was... pretty different, let's say.
But I haven't read much yet, so maybe it touches upon this later on?
