Ancient Greek and Roman Myths Notes

Psyche – a beautiful girl, whom Eros fell in love with and married. He had to hide her from his mother Aphrodite, who was jealous of and vindictive to beautiful women. Jealousy, vindictiveness, and fear of people and gods brought on poor Psyche a lot of mishaps. The end of the story, however, is happy – Zeus granted Eros his permission to marry the mortal Psyche, and Psyche was reconciled with Aphrodite.
