The Story Of Eros and Psyche

~Eros was a god and Psyche a mortal~Psyche was beautiful and found love in Eros~Psyche was not allowed to see his face~sisters told her to look, and dropped oil on him~Eros left her~Psyche visited Aphrodite and sent on 3 impossible tasks~Finally reunited in love ; )

Why does it matter ?This story is still relevant to today’s world because Love is something that lasts forever. Love is in every generation , that ever was , and ever will be. This story teaches that if you truly love someone, you will do anything and everything for them. This story teaches our generation that if we aren’t willing to do anything (within your abilities) for someone , than we don’t truly love them.
