Personally, I've always liked the Greek versions of the gods better. They're a lot more fun to read about than the Roman versions. Mars and Pluto are boring compared to Ares and Hades. That's why my favorite gods appearances in this series were those of Hephaestus, Aphrodite and Hera in The Lost Hero. Even though it's basically the same mythology, the Roman aspect of it is more subdued. The Greeks have a certain spark that the Romans lack in my opinion. And I hope we get to see the Greek gods at least once in Blood of Olympus. If there's only Roman gods, well, that will be a disappointment to me.

I liked the characterization of Cupid. He's the god of love, what do you expect? Also, his aggressive personality makes total sense, since he's the son of Ares.
