Cupid

Out of hate, love and beauty,

the eternal triangle,

came Cupid and his arrow,

victim of himself.

    ~//~                  ~//~

Psyche, the daughter of the 
king and queen of Sicily, 
boasted that she was the most 
beautiful woman on the island.
Inflamed, Aphrodite sent eros
to shoot her with an arrow of 
desire, which would make her
fall in love with the next man 
she met.  Eros fell into his
own trap, for upon shooting
her, fell in love with her him
self.  Taking her to a secret 
place and marrying her.  She
was later made a goddess by
Jupiter and Eros (cupid) was
immortalized.
