Cupid and Psyche was a side-story in a book called "Metamorphoses", written by Lucius Apuleius. The book was later retitled "The Golden Ass" (Asinus aureus) by St Augustine, and is the only Latin novel to survive in its entirety. Click link below for more info!
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.
