The love legend of “Cupid”
Cupid is a handsome god and the son of the goddess Venus, who was praised as “the most beautiful goddess” until there was a loud rumor that the daughter of a king named “Psyche” was extremely beautiful. Even more beautiful than the goddess Venus. This caused people to turn to worship Psyche’s beauty instead of worshiping the goddess Venus. This เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย made the goddess Venus very angry. To the point of ordering Cupid, her son, to use his divine power to harass this woman Psyche.
Venus’s command was to make Psyche fall in love with something hideous and horrible, but when Cupid saw Psyche’s beautiful face, he fell in love with the beauty instead. Some myths say that Cupid pierced his own chest with an arrow and fell in love with Psyche, thus thwarting Venus’s plans.
When Psyche’s sisters had all gotten married, leaving only Psyche who still had no sign of getting married, Psyche’s father went to the temple of Apollo to ask for an oracle, and was told that Psyche’s fate was to have a monster as a mate. He ordered Psyche to be released on a mountaintop for everyone’s safety. The king was forced to take his beloved daughter to a high cliff. Psyche cried in fear, and at that moment a wind engulfed Psyche and sent her floating to a beautiful land. There was a large castle, complete with food and amenities, and that was Cupid’s palace.
At night, Cupid would come to Psyche in the darkness and tell her that she could not see his face. But Psyche knew that even though she could not see the young man’s face, he could not be a monster.
Psyche lived in Cupid’s palace and slept with her husband at night in the darkness. Although she was very happy, the fact that she could not see her lover always bothered Psyche. Until one day, Psyche asked Cupid to let her see her sister. When the sister saw the comfortable life of her sister, she was jealous. Both sisters tried to instigate that her husband must be a monster. Otherwise, why did he hide himself? They advised Psyche to shine a lamp to see her husband’s face once. If he was a monster, she would kill him.
Psyche, convinced by her brother’s urging, decided to use her lamp to look at her husband’s face. And she saw a handsome young man. Psyche was so excited that she dropped the lamp oil on her husband. Cupid woke up with a start and found that Psyche did not trust him and had broken the promise he had made to him. He revealed himself to be a god and said. “If there is no trust, there can be no love,” before he flew away. Venus, who found out, was furious and ordered Cupid to be imprisoned in her palace.
Psyche felt guilty and sorry for what happened. She went to beg the gods for help, but none of the gods wanted to be at odds with the goddess Venus. Until Psyche went to beg the goddess Venus for help, the goddess Venus took the opportunity to bully Psyche by giving her a test that no human could possibly succeed. She ordered her to separate various types of grain, which was succeeded by the help of the ant colony. She ordered Psyche to get wool and gold from the fierce flock of sheep. This time, Psyche received help from the reeds by the river, so she succeeded in her mission. She ordered Psyche to cut water from the river of death. Psyche received help from the eagle to help her with the mission.
Venus, still angry with Psyche, ordered her to take the box down to the underworld to ask for beauty from Proserpine. When Psyche arrived in the underworld and was bewitched by Proserpine, she was curious to see what was inside the box. She secretly opened the box on her way back, and then Psyche fell unconscious.
Cupid, who had recovered from his injuries and was able to escape from his mother’s palace, came to the aid of the woman he loved and helped complete the mission of the goddess Venus. Before Cupid could go and ask the god Jupiter for help, he accepted the request and declared that Cupid and Psyche would be in love and made Psyche immortal like all the gods by drinking nectar. After that, the couple lived in love forever.
