Psyche was such a beautiful girl that even Venus envied her. Venus told Cupid to shoot Psyche and make her fall in love with an ugly monster. After Cupid became invisible, she went to her bed and was about to shoot an arrow when she woke up from her sleep and looked at Cupid. Although Cupid was invisible, she felt that she saw him. Cupid, stunned by Psyche’s beauty, struck him with the sword. Cupid himself fell in love with Psyche. Venus heard about this and was so angry that she wanted to curse Psyche so that she could not find love. Cupid was very angry and said he would not shoot anymore. Cupid stopped shooting. Oh, no, no love, no marriage, no sex, no mating. The earth will soon be old. Venus panicked and begged Cupid on condition that he liked Psyche. Cupid is shooting arrows again, people love again, animals mate again, and the earth is young again.
Psyche still could not find love. Her parents divined that Psyche was too beautiful to marry a man, but a god. They asked the west wind to take Psyche to a palace and hold the wedding ceremony, but the groom could not see it. Every night Cupid came to sleep with Psyche. Cupid told her not to light a lamp and not to ask who he was. Psyche was pregnant when her two jealous sisters came to visit her and told her that she had married an evil snake. They told her to light a lamp at night to kill the evil snake when he was asleep. In the middle of the night, Psyche went to sleep. She lit a candle and took a knife in her hand to see what her husband looked like. When she saw that it was Cupid, she fell in love and kissed him. Psyche was very sad when Cupid left. She searched everywhere and went to many temples. The gods said to go to Venus, because Venus had done the whole thing.
Psyche to see Venus, but Venus to recruit all kinds of difficulties. Venus later sent Psyche into the underworld and deprived her of her beauty. Psyche went underground and hid a small piece of beauty in a box, asking the queen of the underworld to help her escape. The queen told her not to eat anything but bread, and if she did, she would not be able to escape. She also said that she would spread bread crumbs along the way, so that you could not get lost and find your way back along the crumbs. Psyche did so and finally escaped from the ground. Psyche took part of her beauty out of the box and partially restored her beauty.
At this point, Cupid forgave Psyche, returned to find Psyche, restored her beauty, and flew to Olympia to ask Zeus for help. Zeus gathered the gods together and granted Cupid love and marriage to Psyche. Psyche was taken to a mountain and given the elixir of immortality. Under the mediation of Zeus, Venus and Psyche also understood each other. then have the classical cupid and psyche sculpture ancient greek.
