Psyche was an extremely beautiful mortal woman, often compared to Aphrodite. Aphrodite was jealous so sent her son Eros (Cupid) to make Psyche fall in love with a vile person. But Cupid fell in love with Psyche himself. However, nobody approached Psyche for her hand. She ended up jumping off a rock spire, but Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind, took her to Eros' palace. She is visited by him in the dark and gets pregnant. When she finally lights a lamp to see his identity, she sees how beautiful he is. She wounds herself on his arrows, spills hot oil and wakes him up. He runs away, and she is left on a river bank. Pan finds her and sees the signs of passion on her. After all kinds of drama, they are eventually reunited and married.
