Légende

According to Greek and Roman mythology, Cupid (Eros to the Greeks) was the god of love. His mother, Venus (Aphrodite), was jealous of Psyche, a mortal princess, and sent Cupid to shoot her with a love arrow that would make her fall in love with a horrible creature. By accident, Cupid pricked himself as he did so and reversed the effect on Psyche. Venus tried unsuccessfully to keep the two apart. Finally, Cupid and Pysche (seen here together) were allowed to marry, and Psyche was granted immortality.
