girls’

girls’ in the mortal land and that made Venus (or Aphrodite) – the Goddess of Love and Beauty – so

envious and anxious because people forgot to

worship her power.

Thus, she told her son Cupid – the winged God

of Love –

to shoot his arrows making

Psyche fall in love with the ugliest

man ever.

However, the trouble was that Cupid also fell in

love with

Psyche from the very first time he saw her as if he

had just shot himself

responsibility and she even tried to

console her parents’ grieve.

Psyche accepted her fate because it was a

princess’s

She was left alone in a mountain,

but no serpent came as said.

She only felt a cool breeze taking her to

a magnificentpalace where

she was served like a queen by invisible

servants.

Her husband only came to her at night

and she never saw his face.

When seeing Psyche again,

the 2 sisters became more

She couldn’t think about killing her husband who was very

nice to her but at least she had to make sure he was not…

A monster..

One night …

Psyche waited for her husband to

sleep soundly and came back with a

lamp.

Under the light she finally saw her

husband’s face, as beautiful as he always was, the God of Love.

She was deeply touched and her hands were trembling so hard that she dropped a bit

oil from the lamp on his shoulder and awoke

him.

"Love can’t exist

without honesty

and trust”.

days.. months..

years..

Meanwhile, Venus found out

her son’s disobedience

and locked him in his room to

prevent him from going for his

wife. Then one day she finally

met with Psyche.

The envious Goddess thought she would challenge Psyche

with difficult tasks so that she would

either die or become

old and ugly so that Cupid would not

love her anymore

She asked Psyche to separate a mess

of grains;

then to get some wool from the vicious golden

sheep

and then bring back some water from the River Styx.

Who helped Psyche overcame the 3 tasks?

the ants

a little tree

an eagle

Venus was so angry at Psyche’s success. She finally came up

with the most wicked idea which was to challenge

Psyche to go to the Underworld to ask for a bit of beauty

from Queen Proserpina (or Persephone).

However, on the way back Psyche was curious and

also she wanted to take a bit of that piece to beautify

herself before seeing Cupid

again

Many days and

difficulties went by and finally she met with

Proserpina and had a

piece of her beauty to put in a

small box to go back to

Venus

Luckily,

the God decided that

she were allowed to

be.

After hearing everything Psyche

had done,

married to an immortal God and became a Goddess

And so…..

that was….

the end of the story..
