The happy ending for Psyche is supposed to assuage Charite's fear of rape, in one of several instances of Apuleius's.Although the tale resists explication as a strict of a particular Platonic argument, Apuleius drew generally on imagery such as the laborious ascent of the winged soul ( 248) and the union with the divine achieved by Soul through the agency of the Love ( 212b). Psyche's Wedding (, 1895) byThere were once a king and queen, rulers of an unnamed city, who had three daughters of conspicuous beauty. The youngest and most beautiful was Psyche, whose admirers, neglecting the proper worship of the, instead prayed and made offerings to her. It was rumored that she was the second coming of Venus, or the daughter of Venus from an unseemly union between the goddess and a mortal.

He instead scratches himself with his own dart, which makes any living thing fall in love with the first thing it sees. Consequently, he falls deeply in love with Psyche and disobeys his mother's order.Although her two humanly beautiful sisters have married, the idolized Psyche has yet to find love.

The West Wind bears her up to meet her fated match, and deposits her in a lovely meadow , where she promptly falls asleep.The transported girl awakes to find herself at the edge of a cultivated grove. Exploring, she finds a marvelous house with golden columns, a carved ceiling of and ivory, silver walls embossed with wild and domesticated animals, and jeweled mosaic floors.

She gradually learns to look forward to his visits, though he always departs before sunrise and forbids her to look upon him. Soon, she becomes pregnant.Violation of trust Psyche's family longs for news of her, and after much cajoling, Cupid, still unknown to his bride, permits Zephyr to carry her sisters up for a visit.

The goddess then throws before her a great mass of mixed wheat, barley, poppyseed, chickpeas, lentils, and beans, demanding that she sort them into separate heaps by dawn. But when Venus withdraws to attend a wedding feast, a kind ant takes pity on Psyche, and assembles a fleet of insects to accomplish the task.

Climbing the cliff from which it issues, she is daunted by the foreboding air of the place and dragons slithering through the rocks, and falls into despair. Jupiter himself takes pity on her, and sends his eagle to battle the dragons and retrieve the water for her.Psyche and the underworld The last trial Venus imposes on Psyche is a itself.
