Greek god/goddess

Eros (aka Cupid)

Eros was the god of love and "love relationships". He could make someone fall in love, as well as make someone have indifference. This was caused by the two kinds of bows he had. One type was made of gold with doves' feathers attached, which could make someone fall in love the instant it hit. Then there were the ones made of lead with two owl feathers on it, which made someone have indifference (disinterest in someone). He became a god with this power because he was born by a god. However, there are many versions of who his parents were. Some stories say he was born from Erebux and Nix, some say Aphrodite and Ares, and some say Iris and Zephirus. The most famous and commonly told is that his parents were Aphrodite and Ares. Eros also had many stories of who he was. Sometimes he is said to be playful and making trouble for all the gods, but sometimes the stories tell that he was wise and careful of using his arrows. Compared to Hercules, I think his size and strength aren't as big as him. However, Eros had his powerful bow and arrows that could punish anyone that made him mad. I think he was also more playful and sweeter than Hercules. Eros was more "girly" when Hercules was extremely strong and "manly". They're very opposite gods, if you think about it.
