Tibits: Greek Mythology 01

The story Eros and Psyche tells of the struggle for love and trust between Cupid and Psyche. Venus is jealous of the beauty of mortal Psyche, as men are leaving her altars barren to worship a mere human woman instead, and so commands her son Cupid to cause Psyche to fall in love with the ugliest creature on earth. But instead, Cupid falls in love with Psyche himself and spirits her away to his home. Their fragile peace is ruined by a visit from Psyche's jealous sisters, who cause Psyche to betray the trust of her husband. Wounded, Cupid leaves his wife, and Psyche wanders the Earth, looking for her lost love, and pregnant with his child. Eventually she approaches Aphrodite and asks for her help. Aphrodite imposes a series of difficult tasks on Psyche, which she is able to achieve by means of supernatural assistance.
