Cupid is also, in Spain, known as the god of sex and brings luck to those who believe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.89.116 ( talk) 19:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
The edit by 69.158.166.216 not only seemed to have a highly incongruent writing style (which I could, and was sorely tempted to, fix), but its contents seem completely out of place. What do other Wikipedians think? Should we just fix it, or do we move the affected section elsewhere, or revert that edit entirely? — cky 08:49, 2004 Jun 12 (UTC)
Thanks for that. Now we (being Wikipedians who care enough) just need to decide if it's in the Right Place. I'm too much of a newcomer to Wikipedia to make such a call without outside consultation, which is exactly what I'm soliciting here. :-) — cky 01:04, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It's good to mention Cupid and Psyche (maybe), but Apuleius can't really be called the first attestation. CaveatLector 19:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC) He did a lot of things —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.177.85 ( talk) 00:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Nothing about Cupid in modern culture? Shouldn't there be a blurb about Cupid on Valentine's cards, in cartoons shooting random people with love arrows, etc.?
I think that "Cupid" as a Holiday Character should have it's own article. amyanda 07:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)amyanda2000
Cupid is often featured with his eyes blindfolded. I'm not sure if this is meant to symbolize the "blindness" of love? If someone knows for sure, it would be nice to put it in the article.
Is this correct? I can't find any corroroboration of this. Thanks.
In many paintings cupid is depicted with a small penis, shouldn't this be added to the article of artwork?
"Additionally, Cupid's power was supposed to be even greater than his over the dead in Hades, the creatures of the sea and the gods in Olympus."
Does "his" refer to Erebus' power over the dead or is a sentence missing?
I came to this page searching for the facial feature known as Cupid's Bow. There is no mention of it, but it's on the Cuipd disambiguation page. 74.130.29.65 01:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I second that. 60.234.142.18 13:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I suggest an external link section with reference to Cupid.com, an online dating site. I am associated with that site so am not linking it myself.

When you search CUPID on Google this is the first thing you see, but it is very short. Because of this I will conduct reaserch and complete this article with all your sugestions, from cupid and psyche, to cupid pop culture. If thousands are to see this article for valentines day, it must be good. WikiWriter21 ( talk) 18:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Now there are finaly some citations in this article, please help by expanding it and adding more! —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWriter21 ( talk • contribs) 19:19, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
"Aligators are attracted to cupids smell" wtf? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.182.34.140 ( talk) 18:03, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
The first two sections of this are contradictory. Is Cupid the son of Mars or of Mercury? Barry Tilton talk, mail 12:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
I saw that Cupid was a sign of pedophile love back in ancient Greece. If that is true, why isn't it up here? -- Akemi Loli Mokoto ( talk) 06:23, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
no cupid is son of pegasus — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.9.153.47 ( talk) 00:36, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the myth is Cupid is the son of Venus and Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods. Not Mars,the God of War. 184.170.166.153 ( talk) 13:55, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
