#124 - Bullfinch's Mythology: Cupid and Psyche

In a mystical land of radiant beauty, the maiden Psyche finds herself at the center of a divine intrigue. Her unparalleled beauty draws admiration, yet true love seems beyond her grasp until an unseen figure offers her a chance for a deeper connection. Guided by whispered promises and unseen companionship, Psyche embarks on a nightly rendezvous with the mysterious stranger, each meeting unraveling the threads of curiosity and trust.

Despite warnings and doubts sown by her sisters, Psyche's heart yearns to uncover the face of her mysterious beloved. As fate unravels, curiosity leads her to discover his true identity, Cupid, the god of love. However, this revelation shatters their bond, casting Psyche into a search for redemption and love lost.

Psyche's journey takes her through daunting trials set by the gods themselves. From gathering golden fleece to venturing into the depths of the underworld, her determination and aid from kind spirits light the path to her beloved. Though her curiosity leads to peril once more, love triumphs in the end as Cupid rescues her from eternal slumber and their union is blessed by Jupiter.
