| Summary | "The Story of Eros & Psyche (Retold from Apuleius)" by Edward Carpenter is a retelling of the classical mythological tale, likely written in the early 20th century. This narrative explores the theme of love and the trials that accompany it, particularly focusing on the central characters Eros, the God of Love, and Psyche, a mortal woman of exceptional beauty. The story intricately weaves elements of fate, jealousy, and self-discovery, showcasing both divine influences and human emotions. The beginning of the tale introduces Psyche, a young woman whose extraordinary beauty sparks envy in the goddess Aphrodite, leading her to plot against Psyche's happiness. Eros, sent by Aphrodite to cause Psyche to fall in love with a lowly mortal, is unexpectedly captivated by her beauty. The narrative unfolds as Psyche, unaware of her true lover's identity, embarks on a journey filled with isolation, longing, and eventual challenges. Psyche's relationship with her jealous sisters and her eventual quest for love and self-acceptance form the crux of the opening portion, setting the stage for a timeless exploration of love’s complexities.
