A trophy I had, being a divine archer! (5)

I believe the answer is:

cupid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a divine archer' is the definition.
'cupid' can be an answer for 'archer' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'a divine' bit.

'a trophy i had' is the wordplay.
'a trophy' becomes 'cup' (cup is a kind of trophy).
'i had' becomes 'id' (I'd).
'cup'+'id'='CUPID'

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cupid that I've seen before include "heathen god" , "Boy with wings, bow, arrow" , "Roman Eros" , "Love-god" , "boy carrying offensive weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
