In Greek mythology Psyche was a beautiful princess of whom Aphrodite became jealous. The goddess sent her son Eros (Cupid) to Psyche, commanding him to make her fall in love with the ugliest person on earth. But Eros was not immune to the mortal's great beauty. He fell in love instead and the two became lovers, though Eros forbid Psyche to ever look upon him. Being human, her curiosity eventually made her look and it took the intervention of Zeus for the lovers to find eternal happiness.
