Cupid And Psyche

""Cupid and Psyche"" is a retelling of the classic Greek myth by John Jay Chapman. The story follows the beautiful princess Psyche, who is so stunning that people begin to worship her instead of the goddess Venus. In her jealousy, Venus orders her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with a monster. However, Cupid himself falls in love with Psyche and takes her away to a secret palace, where he visits her every night but forbids her from seeing his face. Psyche's curiosity gets the better of her, and she lights a lamp to see Cupid's face, causing him to flee. Psyche then embarks on a quest to win back Cupid's love and forgiveness, facing various trials and challenges along the way. This retelling of the classic myth explores themes of love, jealousy, and the consequences of curiosity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
