The most famous adventures of Cupid and Psyche are when Psyche is visited by Cupid at night, falls in love with him, and then later is put through various trials by Cupid's mother, Venus, in order to prove her love. Their love ultimately prevails, and Psyche is granted immortality so she can be with Cupid forever.
Cupid and Psyche met after Venus (Cupid's mother) told Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with the 'vilest and most despicable of creatures'.
Venus told Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with the most despicable and vile creature in the world.
Lucius isn't IN the story of Cupid and Psyche. The most well-known version of the story is attributed TO him. His name was Lucius Apuleius.
The most recognized was Eros, who fell in love with the princess Psyche.
Cupid was the son of Venus, a father never mentioned. (Greek Eros usually seen as the son of Ares). In the novel by Apuleius, 'The Golden Ass' where the tale of Cupid and Psyche is told, Psyche is the most beautiful on earth. Her parents have no place in that story. In retelling the tale one has often made her the daughter of a king, no name.
She is the most beautiful human mortal. She is also a princess and Eros {Cupid} falls in love with her. His mother was very jelous of Psyche. She kept trying to destroy her, but Eros wouldn't let that happen.
Cupid, being love, can be both kind and cruel. Think about having love and loosing it. It is likely a truth.
"Cupid's Chokehold"
As the goddess of love and beauty, Venus was extremely angry when her worshipers turned from her temples to visit the beautiful mortal, Psyche. She planned firstly to make her son, Cupid, cause her to fall madly in love with the most vile and despicable creature on Earth. However, this plan did not work, as Cupid fell in love with Psyche himself. After a plot that Cupid arranged, they were married, although Psyche did not know that her mysterious husband was Cupid, the god of love- she never really saw him. However, as she was visited by her jealous sisters, they told her that she should check out who her husband truly was. She held up a lamp, and recognized his real identity, but he fled after having hot oil dropped on him. Cupid went to his mother's chamber to have his wound cared for. She was infuriated- and decided to show Psyche what happens when she displeases a goddess. Psyche, after fruitlessly praying to the other gods who would not help her, chose to offer herself as a servant to Venus to soften her displeasure. Venus' next plan was to make Psyche do a series of four 'impossible' tasks. Firstly, Psyche had to sort wheat, poppy, and millet seeds. Secondly, she had to fetch golden fleece from fierce sheep. Thirdly, she had to get a flask of water from the River Styx. Lastly, she had to get 'beauty' from Proserpine in the Underworld. She succeeded in all of these tasks, to Venus' frustration, with the help of ants, a little green reed, an eagle, and a tower, respectively. Finally, after that, Psyche (who had fallen asleep after opening the box of beauty) was awaken by Cupid. He went to Jupiter to formally marry Psyche, and she had immortality bestowed upon her. That was the end of the evil plans of Venus toward Psyche; as she had no objection to having a goddess as a daughter-in-law, and with Psyche out of the way, so to speak, she would no longer interfere with Venus' worshipers on Earth.
