Venus and Cupid Fireback

Psyche was a mortal princess so beautiful that people began to worship her instead of the goddess Venus, which made Venus fiercely jealous. To punish her, Venus sent her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with a terrible creature—but instead, Cupid fell in love with her himself. He visited Psyche each night, keeping his identity hidden, but when she lit a lamp to look at him, he felt betrayed and left her. Heartbroken, Psyche had to complete a series of impossible tasks set by Venus, including a dangerous journey to the underworld. In the end, Cupid returned, saved her, and with Jupiter’s blessing, Psyche was made immortal so they could be together forever.
