The Story: Poor Psyche. Blessed (or cursed) with such incredible beauty that people actually stopped worshipping Venus and started leaving flowers at her doorstep instead. As you might imagine, Venus was not amused. "Right," said the goddess, "let's see how this little madam likes falling desperately in love with the most ugly creature I can find." She sent her son Cupid to do the dirty work. Only Cupid, being rather good at his job, promptly fell head over wings for Psyche himself.
