Psyche was a beautiful young lady
who was so beautiful that people came from everywhere just to see her
loveliness.
 |
| Eros,
a young man of unusual beauty, was worshipped as god of love and roamed
the earth with a bow and many arrows that made people fall in love
with each other.
|
|
|
|
Psyche
was taken to a far off palace where she was destined to live with a
mysterious monster she was never allowed to see.
|
| Psyche was so
overcome by suspicion and curiosity in not seeing her husband that
she took a lamp and sharp knife into her room to see him.
|
|
|
|
Eros awoke
while Psyche was looking at him with the knife in her hand and flew
away in disappointment, never to return.
|
| Psyche went to the
temple of Aphrodite in the hope of repairing her marriage with with
her husband and his mother.
|
|
|
|
Aphrodite, furious
at Psyche, told her she must prove her patience and skill by doing
three tasks.
|
| After Psyche
concluded all her tasks, Eros went to where she lay but only because
he had finally forgiven her.
|
|
|
|
Zeus offered Psyche
the wine of the gods so that she could become immortal.
|
| Eros
and Psyche were married in perpetual happiness and remained united
forever.
