A story about Cupid and His mortal Bride Psyche in Roman
mythology
Venus was jealous of the beauty of Psyche, and ordered Cupid to
punish the mortal. But the last one fell deeply in love with her. He took her
as his wife, but as a mortal she was forbidden to look at him.
Psyche was happy until her sisters persuaded her to look at Cupid. Psyche looked at
him,
and he punished her by leaving her. Psyche found herself alone in an open field with no
signs of other beings or Cupid. As she wandered trying to find her love, she
came upon the temple of Venus. Wishing to destroy her, the goddess of love gave
Psyche a series of tasks. Each task was harder and more dangerous then the last.
For her last task Psyche was given a little box and told to take it to the
underworld. She was told to get some of the beauty of Proserpine, the wife of
Pluto, and put it in the box. During her trip she was given tips on
avoiding the dangers of the realm of the dead. She was also warned not to open
the box. Temptation overcame Psyche and she opened the box. But instead of
finding beauty, she found deadly slumber.
Cupid found her lifeless on the ground. He gathered the deadly sleep from her
body and put it back in the box.
He forgave Psyche, as did Venus. The gods,
moved by Psyche's love for Cupid made her a goddess. Ok, you have probably came here because you are looking for
