Psyche was the prettiest mortal girl, and some claimed she was prettier that the Greek Goddess of love. Aphrodite noticed all the attention that Psyche was getting, became jealous, and ordered her son, Cupid, to shoot Psyche with one of his arrows and have her fall for an ugly monster. When Cupid sees Psyche, he is entranced by her beauty and shoots himself with his arrow. With Psyche straying away form finding true love, her parents visit Apollo, and he tells them that their daughter is destined to marry a monster from the top of a mountain. When Psyche learns of her fate, she agrees to live with it. She meets her husband, whom she can only meet with at night so no one will see him, and this monster is really Cupid. Psyche begins to miss her family and asks for her two sisters to come and visit. Her sisters lead her to believe that her husband is waiting to feast on her one night, so one night she shone a light into his face and was surprised to see such a pretty face. Cupid felt extremely betrayed and told her they could no longer see each other and leaves her feeling guilty. Psyche asks for forgiveness and she is asked to prove her worth. Upon completion of her punishment, Psyche is sent a box of beauty, but is warned not to open it, but her need for beauty is too much and she falls into a Stygian sleep. Psyche is left laying in the middle of the road, but Cupid gets over his issue begins to miss her. Cupid pulls a punch of strings with all of his God and Goddess friends. Long story short the two fall in love and have a daughter.
