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

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

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.

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…..
