*There are not any proper angels in Greek mythology, but there is one archer with wings; Pit bears a very striking resemblance to the cherubic [[wikipedia:Eros|Eros]] (also known as [[wikipedia:Cupid|Cupid]] in Roman mythology), the god who would inspire love by shooting people with arrows. In popular culture, Eros/Cupid is often depicted as having arrowheads shaped and colored like hearts due to his love motif, and some of Pit's art and his trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' depict his arrowheads as looking like hearts. | *There are not any proper angels in Greek mythology, but there is one archer with wings; Pit bears a very striking resemblance to the cherubic [[wikipedia:Eros|Eros]] (also known as [[wikipedia:Cupid|Cupid]] in Roman mythology), the god who would inspire love by shooting people with arrows.

**Pit's own name seems to be derived from Cupid himself, particularly from the ''pid'' part of Cupid. There is evidence to this as seen in the Japanese version of ''Uprising''. In Chapter 11, Viridi mentions that Pit's name (which is ピット ''Pitto'' in Japan) is unoriginal because he resembles Cupid (キューピット ''Kyūpitto''). | **Pit's own name seems to be derived from Cupid himself, particularly from the ''pid'' part of Cupid.
