Cupid_And_Psyche

Cupid And Psyche Throughout Greek mythology and all tales that speak of love, strangeness is always interwoven into a story line. Reading the tale of “Psyche and Cupid” we see this as well. Like most love tales much more than love is felt. Other emotions liter the pages the story is written upon—jealously, anger, and betrayal. From the opening we see signs of jealously being planted. In the description of the beautiful Psyche shows how all of humanity thought she could be a goddess. “When the young princess went out on her morning walk through the streets, victims were offered in her honour, sacred feasts spread for her, flowers scattered in her path” [2]. The people would even call her the goddess of love or other titles that the real goddess of love, Venus, would be called. This thought angered the true Venus. From all the tales we see that the gods and goddess anger easily and most of their interaction with humanity is an act of revenge. psyche, love, jealously, cupid, venus, goddess, felt, sisters, revenge, over, tales, mother, even, anger, women, thought, story, sometimes, sister, sacred, psyche’s, poor, plot, people, own, much, husband, humanity, hid, given, girl, effect, day, call, being
