Reading Notes: Cupid and Psyche, Part B

Venus and the Goddesses - This is the scene where Venus finds out that her son, Cupid, liked Psyche who she hated. In the stories after this, Venus tortures Psyche horrible. I propose that Cupid forgives and saves Psyche in the very beginning, so she doesn't have to go through all the other disasters.
