Venus & Adonis

One day Venus was playing with her son Cupid, when he accidentally cuts her with his arrow. Obviously, Cupid's arrows make people fall in love, and so when she saw a beautiful youth called Adonis, she fell in love with him.

They were together, and they hunted a lot. Venus warned him to be careful when he was hunting, or he might get killed and she would be sad. Adonis, however, is a brave and noble youth that couldn't care less about what she said, and so he gets killed by a boar.

Venus is heartbroken, and she decides to turn his blood into flowers. She does so, and those flowers become known as the Anemones.

There's nothing really interesting about this story, except that it's kinda funny how Cupid makes his mommy fall in love with a random stranger. Though I wonder why he couldn't have made her fall in love with someone as ugly as Quasimodo, and a crybaby and a coward to boot. That would have been hilarious.
