Summary

"The Story of Eros & Psyche (Retold from Apuleius)" by Edward Carpenter is a reimagining of a classic myth, probably from the early 1900s that dives deep into the world of love and the tough times that can come with it. The story is about Eros, the powerful god of love, and Psyche, a super beautiful human. Get ready for a mix of destiny, jealousy, and finding yourself as you watch gods meddling and people feeling all sorts of emotions. It all kicks off with Psyche, whose killer looks make Aphrodite, a goddess, super jealous, so she decides to ruin Psyche’s life. Aphrodite sends Eros to make Psyche fall for some nobody, but guess what? Eros falls head over heels instead. Psyche doesn't know who her lover really is, and she ends up on a wild journey filled with being alone, wanting something more, and facing huge challenges. Her mean sisters and her big mission to find love and be okay with herself are a big deal in this part, getting you ready for a story about how complicated love can be.
