Cupid & Psyche

Psyche and the Mystery of Cupid

She had not yet seen her destined husband. He came only in the hours of darkness and fled before the dawn of morning, but his accents were full of love, and inspired a like passion in her. She often begged him to stay and let her behold him, but he would not consent. On the contrary, he charged her to make no attempt to see him, for it was his pleasure, for the best of reasons, to keep concealed. "Why should you wish to behold me?" he said; "have you any doubt of my love? Have you any wish ungratified? If you saw me, perhaps you would fear me, perhaps adore me, but all I ask of you is to love me. I would rather you would love me as an equal than adore me as a god."

."LOVE cannot live without TRUST." as what cupid and psyche wants to convey.,

[MrNemy86]

I always thought the god/mortal relationship was a play on class struggle and whether or not people can see each other for who they are and not labels.

Most beautiful story ever told <3

@musicindisguise He was probably stung by the fact that she didn't trust and obey him, and Venus was probably feeding him a lot of stuff as well. He was also a mommy's boy in the myth if I recall correctly...
