one is with aphrodite and psyche, where aphrodite got jealous of her beauty and sent eros to shoot her with an arrow and make her fall in love with the ugliest man alive. but when eros saw her he fell in love with her beauty too and could not shoot the arrow.
another one is when he shot an arrow at the god Apollo and he saw daphne and he would not leave her. she never did love him and prayed to her mother to get away from Apollo and never see him again. as she prayed this she vanished from the face of the earth and when she left there was a laurel tree as a symbol. and no one ever saw her again.....
Diognetus Erythraeus says that once Venus [Aphrodite] and her son Cupid [Eros] came in Syria to the river Euphrates. There Typhon, of whom we have already spoken, suddenly appeared. Venus [Aphrodite] and her son threw themselves into the river and there changed their forms to fishes, and by so doing this escaped danger. So afterwards the Syrians, who are adjacent to these regions, stopped eating fish, fearing to catch them lest with like reason they seem either to oppose the protection of the gods, or to entrap the gods themselves. They became Pisces, the fishes.
