Psyche and Eros
A beautiful girl, Psyche, is born after two older sisters. Cupid, a god, sees Psyche in her radiant glory, he shoots himself with the arrow and falls in love with her. He then takes her away and marries her without revealing his identity.
She lives with him, never seeing him, until one day he tells her that her sisters have been crying for her. Psyche insists that they visit, and when they do, they become extremely jealous and deduce that Psyche has never seen her husband, and they convince her that she must sneak a look. Confused and conflicted, Psyche turns on a lamp one night as her husband lies next to her.
When she sees the beautiful Cupid asleep on her bed, she weeps for her lack of faith. Cupid awakens and deserts her because Love cannot live where there is no trust.
