Cupid and Psyche Myth

Summary

Ancient love story where the mortal woman Psyche is tested by Aphrodite through impossible tasks. She must separate grains, collect wool, and retrieve beauty from the underworld. Animal allies help her (ants, eagle, river god). Despite being told never to open a box, she opens it and falls into death-sleep. Cupid rescues her and they ascend to heaven together, having a child named Pleasure. Referenced as inspiration for the channel name 'Psyche Awakens' and used as metaphor for spiritual awakening.
