Why did psyches lose cupid?

Answer 1

Psyche never saw Eros's face. It was the one rule. She had no idea if the thing that came to visit her every night was a monster, man, or angel. You know what they say: curiosity killed the cat. She grew to trust the creature who came to visit her each night but during the day she was lonely. She begged to visit her sisters, and the creature said yes. Psyche told her sisters about what was happening, and out of jealousy the sisters told her that she was visited by a monster who would kill her. She went back to the creature but was troubled. Here is where the tale varies. Some say she struck a match and lit a candle. Psyche held it over his face, and when she saw how beautiful he was, her hand shook and a drop of hot wax fell and woke Eros up. He flew off, upset by her lack of faith. Personally, I believe this version of the tale. But another version is that Psyche had a knife, and was prepared to kill the 'monster' who kept her captive. She stood over him and prepared to plunge the knife into his heart but then she saw how beautiful he was and faltered. Then, Eros awoke and was upset by her lack of faith so he flew off. But do you know the ending of the saying: Curiosity killed the cat? Everyone always forgets it. The ending is: curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. Psyche and Eros eventually got back together and lived happily ever after.
