Cupid, We Have a Problem

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We all know Cupid. Cupid's lore spans centuries and traverses continents. His reputation precedes him. In fact, we cannot escape him. We are bombarded with his presence and flooded with reminders as every February 14 approaches. This year is no different. As the Greek god of desire, attraction, and affection, Cupid has the ability to infuse anyone with love. But he can also inflict upon anyone a feeling of aversion. You see, in Cupid's quiver are two types of arrows: golden and lead . A strike from Cupid's golden arrow leaves a person unable to control his or her desire and passion toward another person. However, a direct hit from his lead arrow leads a person to feelings of apathy, aversion, or a desire to flee.
