"Eros and Psyche" is a well-known mythological tale from ancient Greco-Roman mythology that explores themes of love, trust, and personal growth. The story centers around the relationship between Eros, the god of love, and Psyche, a mortal princess. Here's a brief overview of the story:
Psyche's Beauty and Curiosity:
Psyche was an incredibly beautiful mortal princess, but her beauty attracted so much attention that people began to worship her instead of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. In response, Aphrodite became jealous and instructed her son Eros (also known as Cupid) to make Psyche fall in love with a monstrous creature.
However, when Eros saw Psyche, he himself fell in love with her due to her remarkable beauty. He was unable to fulfill his mother's command and instead used his golden arrows to make Psyche fall in love with a suitable mortal man. He kept his identity hidden from her. Psyche's beauty led to troubles in her life, as no man wanted to marry her due to her divine beauty. Her father consulted an oracle, which revealed that she was destined to marry a monster. Psyche was taken to a mountaintop and left to be claimed by the monster. However, a gentle wind carried her to a beautiful palace where she was attended to by invisible servants.
Eros and Psyche's Love:
During her stay at the palace, Psyche never saw her husband but experienced his loving presence. They spent their nights together, but Eros always left before dawn, warning her not to try to see him.
Aphrodite's Trials:
Aphrodite, still angry with Psyche, conspired to test her. She assigned Psyche a series of seemingly impossible tasks, such as sorting a heap of mixed grains and retrieving a piece of golden fleece from aggressive sheep. With the help of various creatures and objects, Psyche managed to complete these tasks.
Betrayal and Redemption:
When Psyche's sisters convinced her to uncover the identity of her husband, she was overcome by curiosity and disobeyed Eros's warning. She lit a lamp to see him while he was sleeping. However, a drop of hot oil from the lamp woke Eros, and he fled the palace, feeling betrayed by her lack of trust.
Reconciliation and Immortality:
Psyche embarked on a quest to find Eros and win back his love. She faced more trials and eventually earned the forgiveness of both Eros and Aphrodite. Zeus intervened and granted Psyche immortality, allowing her to become a goddess. She and Eros were united, and their love story became a symbol of the enduring power of love and the importance of trust and personal growth.
The myth of Eros and Psyche has inspired numerous works of art, literature, and cultural interpretations throughout history, highlighting the complexity of human relationships and emotions.

Arrived when expected and the item is beautiful. Looks quality and great detail. It is a gift for someone and I don't think they'll be disappointed with it. Also, I had some concerns about delivery time as I was on a tight schedule but had plenty of communication with the seller and it was delivered by Royal Mail which was reassuring.

This is a gift for my wife who loves owls. This piece of Steampunk art takes the wise bird whom Athena in Greek mythology favours to an entirely new level. I love steampunk art and my wife is quite impressed with this figurine which is well made and quite unique.
