Appearance[]

Psyche is simply depicted as the most beautiful person in the world. She has very long flowing wavy radiant dark hair, rosy cheeks, full red lips as red as roses and rubies, and sparkling sapphire blue eyes, along with extremely flawless and fair skin. Not only that, she had a stunningly divine face of an angel and a heavenly goddess-like figure to match. So therefore Psyche was completely perfect and flawless in every way. She always wears the most fashionable and elegant dresses, robes and silky clothes that reflected her unmatched beauty. Along with the most ravishing and marvelous sparkling jewelry. Psyche was often said to be even far more gorgeous and exquisite than the goddess Aphrodite herself. When she became a heavenly goddess she was given astounding butterfly-wing to fly everywhere with her husband Eros the god of love.

History[]

She was once a mortal princess whose extraordinary beauty earned the ire of Aphrodite when men began turning their worship away from the goddess towards the girl. Aphrodite commanded Eros make Psyche fall in love with the most hideous of men but the god instead fell in love and carried her off to his hidden palace. Eros hid his true identity and told Psyche she must never gaze upon his face. Her jealous sisters, however, tricked her into disobeying and the angry god forsook her. Psyche searched the world for her lost love and eventually came into the service of Aphrodite. The goddess commanded her to perform a series of seemingly impossible tasks which culminated in a journey to the Underworld. Psyche was afterwards reunited with Eros and the couple were married in a ceremony attended by all the gods. Psyche was often depicted in ancient mosaic art as a butterfly-winged woman in the company of her husband Eros.
