Amour&Psyche - III Print

Venus is offended. The mortal girl Psyche young and beautiful, whose admirers, neglecting the proper worship of Aphrodite (love goddess Venus), instead prayed and made offerings to her, - has to suffer. He has Psyche in her power and turns her over to her two handmaids, Worry and Sadness, to be whipped and tortured. Meanwhile, Aьщгк escapes his mother Venus’s house by flying out of a window. When he finds Psyche, he draws the sleep from her face and replaces it in the box, then pricks her with an arrow that does no harm. He lifts her into the air, and then takes his case to Jupiter (Zeus), who gives his consent in return for Cupid's future help whenever a choice maiden catches his eye. Zeus has Amour convene an assembly of the gods in the theater of heaven, where he makes a public statement of approval, warns Venus to back off, and gives Psyche ambrosia, the drink of immortality, so the couple can be united in marriage as equals. Their union, he says, will redeem Cupid from his history of provoking adultery and sordid liaisons. Zeus's word is solemnized with a wedding banquet. This assembly of the gods has been a popular subject setting for a "Feast of the Gods" scene in visual and performing arts.
