MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why does Cupid shoot arrows?

With Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend I was wondering why Cupid shoots arrows?

One of Cupid’s Roman names is Cupido. Which means “desire”.  In both Greek and Roman Mythology, Cupid always had a bow and arrow with him that he would use to shoot the power of love (shout out, Huey!) at whatever and whoever he wanted.  That’s a lot of power for one little guy and his arrows.
