Inspired by cupid and psyche 340354-164 classical mythology and the bible
Psyche's beauty was heard far and wide by people. Some even said that even the beautiful goddess of love like Venus couldn't compare to her. It made the goddess Venus very dissatisfied and ordered her son Cupid to shoot a love arrow at Psyche to make her fall in love with the most dreadful creature on earth. But when Cupid met Psyche for the first time, he fell in love with her himself. With the fear that his mother would know the truth, Cupid secretly lived with Psyche without letting her see his face and came to see her only when she was asleep. As the days went by, Psyche wondered what her husband would look like. She decided to peek at his face because of her curiosity and the encouragement from her sister. She held the lamp and lifted it close to him. But, the candle wax dropped on him. Cupid then woke up in shock and furious. He said, “Love cannot live where there is no trust, ” and then flew away. Psyche had set out to look for her husband but could not find him anywhere. Finally, she went to the temple of the goddess Venus and begged her for help. The goddess gave her four tasks. All of them were missions that were difficult for humans to complete.
In the third task, Psyche had to fill the flask with water in the river Styx. This time, she got an eagle to help. Her last task was to bring a box containing some of the beauty of Persephone from the underworld and give it to Venus. But out of curiosity, she thought of opening the box and also wanted to use that beauty on herself. When it opened, she found nothing but emptiness and fell into a heavy sleep. It was then that Cupid appeared to save her. He revives her and then brings her back to the temple to complete his mother's task. Later, Cupid asked Zeus to announce that he and Psyche were married and grant immortality to his bride. Then, Cupid and Psyche lived together happily ever after. Psyche's first task was to separate all the seeds, wheat, poppies, and millet in one night. She succeeded with the help of the ants. Her second task was to bring the Golden Fleece to Venus. The sheep were very ferocious, but she achieved it because a voice from a green reed near the Riverbank directed her to collect the Golden Fleece that followed the bushes near the sheep instead.
