Articles liés à Cupid and Psyche: A new translation
Synopsis
In a certain kingdom there once lived a princess so beautiful that men abandoned the temples of Venus to worship her instead. The goddess, enraged, sent her son Cupid to punish the girl by making her fall in love with the lowest creature on earth. Instead he fell in love with her himself, and carried her off to a hidden palace where he came to her only in the dark, forbidding her ever to look at his face.
Written in the second century, Apuleius's tale of Cupid and Psyche is the loveliest love story to come down to us from the Roman world. Beneath its surface of palaces, jealous sisters, and impossible labors lies an older pattern: the journey of the soul, falling, suffering, and at last returning to the love that drew it down.
The story has shaped Boccaccio, Shakespeare, Keats, and C. S. Lewis, and stands behind almost every later tale of forbidden love and impossible reunion in Western literature.
With an afterword on Apuleius himself—the North African philosopher, lecturer, and accused magician—and on the Platonic meaning of a heroine whose name is simply the Greek word for soul.
