Lore

Long ago, in an ancient kingdom, a king and queen had three daughters. The youngest, Psyche—her name means “soul” in Greek—was so breathtakingly beautiful that people began to worship her, forgetting Venus (Aphrodite) herself, the goddess of love and beauty.

Outraged, Venus flew into a fury. She summoned her son, Cupid (Eros), the winged god of love, and ordered him to punish the upstart: shoot her with an arrow so she’d fall hopelessly in love with the ugliest, most wretched creature on earth. But the moment Cupid saw Psyche, he was so struck by her beauty that he pricked himself with his own arrow and fell passionately in love with her.
