Description

Psyche by almudena-stock. [link]
Eros by justmeina. [link]


The goddess Aphrodite, jealous of the beauty of a mortal woman named Psyche, asked her son Eros to use his golden arrows to cause Psyche to fall in love with the ugliest man on earth. Eros agreed but then fell in love with Psyche on his own, or by accidentally pricking himself with a golden arrow.
Eros visited her every night and they made love; he demanded only that she never light any lamps because he did not want her to know who he was.
The sisters urged Psyche to conceal a knife and oil lamp in the bedchamber, to wait till her husband was asleep, and then to light the lamp and slay him at once if it was as they said. Psyche sadly followed their advice. In the light of the lamp Psyche recognized the fair form on the bed as the god Eros.
