The Tale of Cupid and Psyche from Apuleius’s Metamorphoses 

Psyche was the most beautiful woman in the world and for that, Venus envied her. Venus envied her so much that she sent her son, Cupid, to use one of his golden arrows to make Psyche fall in love with a murderous beast. 

Cupid flew down to Psyche’s room at night and took out one of his golden arrows and just as he readied himself to scratch her with the arrow, she woke up. Startled, Cupid accidentally scratched himself and fell madly in love with Psyche. Unable to complete his mission, he returned to Venus and she placed a curse on Psyche that would make it impossible for her to ever find a husband. Upset by the curse, Cupid proclaimed that he would not shoot arrows for Venus as long as there is a curse on Psyche, which would cause the temple of Venus to fall apart in his absence.

Months pass and no man or animal on Earth falls in love, marries or mates due to Cupid’s absence and Venus finally conceded to his demands. When Psyche’s parents became worried that she is not yet married, they went to see an oracle who told them to leave Psyche on on the nearest mountain for her beauty was far too overwhelming. Her parents followed the instructions, however Zephyrus, the west wind, carried Psyche away to another village where she was married to Cupid. Psyche did not know that her husband was Cupid since he did not want her to known until the time was right to tell her.

Eventually, Psyche realized that her husband was Cupid one night while he slept. Just like Cupid, Psyche accidentally pricked herself with one of his golden arrows and fell madly in love with him. However, when Psyche awoke him by kissing him, Cupid immediately left and Psyche fell out of her window while she watched him fly away.
