Cupidinis Et Psyches Historia

By A.-J. Pons and Antoine-Joseph Pons

Cupidinis Et Psyches Historia is a classical work attributed to Apuleius, a Roman writer and philosopher. This enduring tale, part of Apuleius' larger work "Metamorphoses" (also known as "The Golden Ass"), recounts the enchanting love story of Cupid and Psyche. Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, incurs the jealousy of Venus, who commands her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with a hideous monster. However, Cupid is struck by Psyche's beauty and instead takes her as his wife, under the condition that she never look upon his face.

Driven by curiosity and the manipulations of her envious sisters, Psyche eventually breaks this condition, leading to trials and tribulations as she seeks to regain Cupid's love. The story explores themes of love, jealousy, trust, and redemption, offering a timeless narrative that continues to captivate readers. This edition allows readers to engage with the original Latin text, preserving the authenticity and literary artistry of Apuleius' work.
