Description

Excerpt from Eros and Psyche: A Fairy-Tale of Ancient Greece, Retold After Apuleius

HE story of Bros and Psyche re?ects the religious life of classic antiquity more strongly than any other book, poem, or epic, not excepting the works of Hesiod and Homer. The T lzeogony of Hesiod tells of the origin of the gods and invests them with definite shape; Homer introduces them as actors in his grand epics; but the popular tale of Eros and Psyche re?ects the sentiment with which the gods were regarded, and describes the attitude of man toward the problems of life, especially that problem of problems - the mystery of death and the fate of the soul in the unknown be yond.
