Cupid
To address, if not answer, Georgia’s question about Cupid and his arrows in the comments, according to the resident classicist, Cupid had two kinds of arrows — arrows of gold and arrows of lead. If he hit you with a golden arrow, you fell in love with the one you gazed upon; hit with the lead, you fell into hate. And here, I believe, we have the plot to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with the mischievous fairy Puck in place of the mischievous god, Cupid.
