Psyche was a mortal woman of immense beauty, which led to her being adored by her peers, much to the envy of Aphrodite, the goddess of love (or Venus in Roman mythology). Aphrodite ordered her son, Cupid, to make Psyche fall in love with the vilest creature on earth as punishment. However, when Cupid saw Psyche, he fell in love with her instead. He started visiting her every night while ensuring she couldn't see his identity, telling her he was a regular man not a god. Psyche's sisters, envious of her luxurious lifestyle, convinced her to reveal her visitor's identity, breaking Cupid's rules. She obeyed and when she saw Cupid, he fled. From there, the myth focuses on Psyche's journey to find Cupid, encountering various trials set by Aphrodite. Eventually, Cupid forgives Psyche and convinces Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology) to make her a goddess. Psyche and Cupid then marry and have a daughter, Pleasure, officially making Psyche a Greek goddess accepted by all.
