Mortal life
Psyche was a princess who was so beautiful that other mortals began to worship her instead of Aphrodite. Out of spite, Aphrodite commanded Eros to make Psyche fall in love with an ugly man but, instead, Eros fell in love with her and took her to his hidden castle. Eros concealed his true identity from Psyche and told her that she could never look at him.

Psyche's sisters were jealous that she had found a new lover so they told her that she shouldn't trust her new husband. Because her sisters had made Psyche distrust her new lover, her turned on the light while Eros was sleeping and he fled.

Psyche regretted her actions so she went to Aphrodite for help. Aphrodite commanded Psyche to perform four labors in order to win back the love of Eros. She completed her tasks and her and Eros were married and Psyche was granted immortality.
