Cupid in the Underworld

In Roman Mythology, Psyche was a beautiful princess whose stunning appearance ignited the jealousy of Venus, the goddess of love. In an attempt to sabotage Psyche’s love life, Venus instructed her son Cupid to intervene. However, Cupid fell deeply in love with Psyche instead. Angry and vengeful, Venus devised a series of daunting and perilous tasks for Psyche. Yet, with the assistance of the gods, Psyche cleverly outmaneuvered Venus at every turn. For her final challenge, Psyche was sent to the underworld to retrieve a precious gift, but this task was also a trick that led Psyche into a deep sleep. Thankfully, Cupid flew to her rescue, carrying her up to Olympus where he nourished her with ambrosia. This divine nectar granted Psyche immortality, and together, they lived happily ever after. (And yes, this transformation meant that she became immortal as well, sharing an eternal love with Cupid.)
