The story of Psyche first appears in a book of stories written by Apuleius in the second century AD - The Golden Ass. The story appears as a story (a work of fiction); we do not know if Apuleius based his tale on an earlier myth, but Apuleius himself tells the story as fiction: he doesn't believe it is true, and he does not expect his readers to believe it. In Apuleius' tale Psyche's father has no name; he doesn't need one, since he is not a major character in the story. One of the big differences between a tale (definitely fictional) and a myth (possibly true) is that in a tale non-essential detail is regularly omitted (it doesn't matter) whereas in a myth it is often included (if a thing is true, who knows what aspects are important, and which are not)? Her father's name is not mentioned. Only that Pyche was a beiutiful human girl, who stirred the envy of Venus.
The story of Cupid and Psyche is a myth from ancient Greece, believed to have been written in the 2nd century CE by the Roman writer Apuleius in his novel "The Golden Ass." The exact time in which the myth is set is not specific, as it is a fictional tale.
