The love story between Eros (Cupid) and Psyche

Описание: Long ago, there lived a mortal princess named Psyche, whose beauty was so extraordinary that people neglected the worship of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Enraged by jealousy, Aphrodite ordered her son Eros (Cupid) to strike Psyche with an arrow that would make her fall in love with a vile man.

Instead, upon seeing Psyche, Eros wounded himself with his own arrow and fell deeply in love with her. He secretly carried Psyche to a magnificent palace, visiting her only at night and forbidding her from seeing his face.

Influenced by her sisters, Psyche grew suspicious. One night, she lit a lamp to gaze upon her sleeping husband. A drop of hot oil fell on Eros, waking him. Hurt by her betrayal, Eros fled.

Heartbroken, Psyche set out on a long journey to find him. Aphrodite imposed cruel trials upon her: sorting countless seeds, gathering golden fleece, fetching water from a deadly river, and finally descending into the underworld to retrieve a box containing the beauty of death.

Through perseverance and divine assistance, Psyche succeeded. Moved by her devotion, Zeus granted her immortality by giving her ambrosia. Psyche was reunited with Eros, and their marriage was celebrated among the gods on Mount Olympus.

Their love endures as a timeless symbol of the union between desire and the soul, proving that true love is born through trust, suffering, and transformation.
