Cupid and Psyche is a story originally from Metamorphoses (also called The Golden Ass), written in the 2nd century AD by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis (or Platonicus). The tale concerns the overcoming of obstacles to the love between Psyche (/ˈsaɪkiː/; Greek: Ψυχή, Greek pronunciation: [psyː.kʰɛ̌ː], "Soul" or "Breath of Life") and Cupid (Latin Cupido, "Desire") or Amor ("Love", Greek Eros, Ἔρως), and their ultimate union in a sacred marriage. Although the only extended narrative from antiquity is that of Apuleius from 2nd century AD, Eros and Psyche appear in Greek art as early as the 4th century BC. The story's Neoplatonic elements and allusions to mystery religions accommodate multiple interpretations, and it has been analyzed as an allegory and in light of folktale, Märchen or fairy tale,

rdfs:comment	Cupido i Psique és un dels contes narrats a la novel·la del segle II Les Metamorfosis, de l'escriptor romano-africà Luci Apuleu. L'èxit d'aquesta història, que tracta sobre les dificultats d'una parella d'enamorats fins al seu desenllaç feliç en un matrimoni, ha inspirat nombroses obres d'art i ha servit de base per escriptors posteriors en diverses llengües. Segons han interpretat alguns crítics, la narració conté elements que encaixen amb el neoplatonisme i fa al·lusions a religions mistèriques, segons altres interpretacions és una al·legoria de la mitologia grega. (ca) Amor und Psyche ist ein sehr verbreitetes Sujet der Bildenden Kunst der Antike und der Neuzeit und ein beliebtes Thema der Belletristik und der Musik. Dargestellt werden Aspekte der mythischen Liebesbeziehung zwischen dem Gott Amor, auch Cupido genannt, und der sterblichen Königstochter Psyche, die schließlich unter die Unsterblichen aufgenommen wird. Die neuzeitliche künstlerische Behandlung des Stoffs knüpft direkt oder indirekt an die Erzählung von Amor und Psyche an, die in den Metamorphosen des Apuleius aus dem 2. Jahrhundert enthalten ist. In der bildenden Kunst der Antike war die Darstellung von Amor (Eros) und Psyche schon in der Epoche des Hellenismus, lange vor der Zeit des Apuleius, beliebt.

Nella vicenda narrata da Apuleio, Psiche, mortale dalla bellezza eguale a Venere, diventa sposa di Amore-Cupido senza tuttavia sapere chi sia il marito, che le si presenta solo nell'oscurità della notte. Scoperta su istigazione delle invidiose sorelle la sua identità, è costretta, prima di poter ricongiungersi al suo divino consorte, a effettuare una serie di prove, al termine delle quali otterrà l'immortalità. Altre versioni, differenti da quella di Apuleio, narrano invece la morte della ragazza prima dell'ultima prova, altre ancora narrano che la ragazza abbia fallito l'ultima prova e che a (it)
