What is a summary of cupid and psyche?

Envious and jealous of the beauty of a mortal girl named Psyche, Venus asks her son Cupid (known to the Greeks as Eros) to use his golden arrows while Psyche sleeps, so that when she awakens, Venus (Aphrodite in the Greek tradition) would place a vile creature for her to fall in love with. Cupid finally agrees to her commands after a long debate. As he flies to Psyche's room at night, he turns himself invisible so no one can see him fly in through her window. He takes pity on her, for she was born too beautiful for her own safety. As he slowly approaches, careful not to make a sound, he readies one of his golden arrows. He leans over Psyche while she is asleep and before he can scratch her shoulder with the arrow, she awakens, startling him, for she looks right into his eyes, despite his invisibility. This causes him to scratch himself with his arrow and fall deeply in love with her. He cannot continue his mission, for every passing second he finds her more appealing. He reports back to Venus shortly after and the news enrages her. Venus places a curse on Psyche that keeps her from meeting a suitable husband, or any husband at that. As she does this, it upsets Cupid greatly, and he decides as long as the curse stays on Psyche, he will no longer shoot arrows, which will cause the temple of Venus to fall.Michelangelo Palloni, fresco Sleeping Psyche, c. 1688, Wilanów Palace.After months of no one - man or animal - falling in love, marrying, or mating, the Earth starts to grow old, which causes concern to Venus, for nobody praises her for Cupid's actions. Finally, she agrees to listen to Cupid's demands, allowing him one thing to have his own way. Cupid desires Psyche. Venus, upset, agrees to his demands only if he begins work immediately. He accepts the offer and takes off, shooting his golden arrows as fast as he can, restoring everything to the way it should be. People again fall in love and marry, animals far and wide mate, and the Earth begins to look young once again.When all continue to admire and praise Psyche's beauty, but none desire her as a wife, Psyche's parents consult an oracle, which tells them to leave Psyche on the nearest mountain, for her beauty is so great that she is not meant for a mortal man. Terrified, they have no choice but to follow the oracle's instructions. But then Zephyrus, the west wind, carries Psyche away, to a fair valley and a magnificent palace where she is attended by invisible servants until nightfall, and in the darkness of night the promised bridegroom arrives and the marriage is consummated. Cupid visits her every night to sleep with her, but demands that she never light any lamps, since he does not want her to know who he is until the time is right.Statue of Cupido and Psyche kissing, 2nd century AD. Room E of the House of Cupid and Psyche. Ostia Antica,Latium, ItalyCupid allows Zephyrus to take Psyche back to her sisters and bring all three down to the palace during the day, but warns that Psyche should not listen to any argument that she should try to discover his true form. The two jealous sisters tell Psyche, then pregnant with Cupid's child, that rumour is that she had married a great and terrible serpent who would devour her and her unborn child when the time came for it to be fed. They urge Psyche to conceal a knife and oil lamp in the bedchamber, to wait till her husband is asleep, and then to light the lamp and slay him at once if it is as they said. Psyche sadly follows their advice. In the light of the lamp Psyche recognizes the fair form on the bed as the god Cupid himself. However, she accidentally pricks herself with one of his arrows, and is consumed with desire for her husband. She begins to kiss him, but as she does, a drop of oil falls from her lamp onto Cupid's shoulder and wakes him. She watches him fly away, and she falls from the window to the ground, sick at heart.Psyche then finds herself in the city where one of her jealous elder sisters lives. She tells her what had happened, then tricks her sister into believing that Cupid has chosen her as a wife on the mountaintop. Psyche later meets her other sister and deceives her likewise. Each sister goes to the top of the peak and jumps down eagerly, but Zephyrus does not bear them and they fall to their deaths at the base of the mountain.Psyche searches far and wide for her lover, finally stumbling into a temple where everything is in slovenly disarray. As Psyche is sorting and clearing the mess, Ceres (Demeter to the Greeks) appears, but refuses any help beyond advising Psyche that she must call directly on Venus, who caused all the problems in the first place. Psyche next calls on Juno in her temple, but Juno gives her the same advice. So Psyche finds a temple to Venus and enters it. Venus then orders Psyche to separate all the grains in a large basket of mixed kinds before nightfall. An ant takes pity on Psyche, and with its ant companions, separates the grains for her.L'Amour et Psyché,by François-Édouard Picot, 1819Venus is outraged at her success and tells her to go to a field where golden sheep graze and to retrieve some golden wool. A river-god tells Psyche that the sheep are vicious and strong and will kill her, but if she waits until noontime, the sheep will go to the shade on the other side of the field and sleep; she can then pick the wool that sticks to the branches and bark of the trees. Venus next asks for water flowing from a cleft that is impossible for a mortal to attain and is also guarded by great serpents. This time an eagle performs the task for Psyche.Psyché aux enfers by Eugène Ernest Hillemacher, 1865Venus, furious at Psyche's survival, claims that the stress of caring for her son, made depressed and ill as a result of Psyche's lack of faith, has caused her to lose some of her beauty. Psyche is to go to the Underworld and ask the queen of the Underworld, Proserpina (Persephone to the Greeks), to place a bit of her beauty in a box that Venus had given to Psyche. Psyche decides that the quickest way to the Underworld is to throw herself off some high place and die, and so she climbs to the top of a tower. But the tower itself speaks to Psyche and tells her the route that will allow her to enter the Underworld alive and return again, as well as telling her how to get past Cerberus (by giving the three-headed dog a small cake); how to avoid other dangers on the way there and back; and most importantly, to eat nothing but coarse bread in the underworld, as eating anything else would trap her there forever. Psyche follows the orders precisely, rejecting all but bread while beneath the Earth.However, once Psyche has left the Underworld, she decides to open the box and take a little bit of the beauty for herself. Inside, she can see no beauty; instead an infernal sleep arises from the box and overcomes her. Cupid (Eros), who had forgiven Psyche, flies to her, wipes the sleep from her face, puts it back in the box, and sends her back on her way. Then Cupid flies to Mount Olympus and begs Jupiter (Zeus) to aid them. Jupiter calls a full and formal council of the gods and declares that it is his will that Cupid marry Psyche. Jupiter then has Psyche fetched to Mount Olympus, and gives her a drink made from ambrosia, granting her immortality. Begrudgingly, Venus and Psyche forgive each other.

Who helped Psyche get water from Styx?

Psyche was tasked with retrieving water from the river Styx by Aphrodite, who gave her a crystal urn in which to place the water. Upon climbing the high mountain where Aphrodite told her to go, Psyche dispaired at the sight of the River, which was in a narrow chasm, with monstrous serpents reaching out from the chasm walls. She was on the verge of suicide, when the Eagle of Zeus appeared overhead, and swooped down. The Eagle told her that she would never be able to accomplish the task herself, and that he would help her out. He took the urn from her, and used his agility to evade the serpents, and scoop up the water of the Styx for her.


Is psyche good or evil?

Basically, Psyche is good. Long story short, Cupid accidentally falls in love with her when Venus sends him to kill Psyche (Venus hates Psyche, a mortal, for being too beautiful). Venus is angry, and places a curse on Psyche. The curse makes certain that no man will ever marry her, despite her beauty. Cupid is angry and refuses to make anyone fall in love for as long as the curse continues. This means that people stop praising Venus. Eventually Venus caves to Cupid, allowing him to have one thing. He asks to have Psyche. Venus agrees. Meanwhile, down on earth, Psyche's parents abandoned her on a mountain, as advised by an oracle. The wind carries her away to a valley. At night, her groom arrives. The groom is Cupid, but Psyche doesn't know that. She becomes pregnant, still not knowing who her husband is. Cupid wants to wait to tell her who he is. Psyche's jealous sisters convince her that her husband is a serpent and that she should kill it while it's sleeping, but Psyche turns on a light and realizes who her husband really is. Cupid flees. Psyche gets back at her sisters by telling them that Cupid wants to marry them and that they should jump off of a mountain and the wind will take them to him. They both jump to their death. Psyche then enlists the help of several goddesses to find Cupid. They all tell her that she must consult Venus. Venus gives her several tasks to complete in order to be allowed to see Cupid again. She completes all of the "impossible" tasks, such as sorting seeds and fetching golden wool, with the help of various animals. After the last task, which involved going into the Underworld to get a box of beauty, Cupid begs Zeus to intervene and allow them to marry. He agrees, and Cupid and Psyche, who is made immortal, have a child together. Eventually, Psyche and Venus make amends. So, Psyche is good, unless you're asking Venus, who hated Psyche. You can also learn from this answer that it is really hard to briefly summarize Greek myths.
