Cupid and Psyche
How is this story included in Greek Mythology even though
Cupid itself is not a Greek name but a Latin name?

It is because of…
A Latin novel Metamorphoses, also known as The Golden Ass,
written in the 2nd century AD by Apuleius
![Page 5: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The truth is…
• Since the rediscovery of Apuleius's novel in the Renaissance, the reception of Cupid and Psyche in the classical tradition has been extensive. The story has been retold in poetry, drama, and opera, and depicted widely in painting, sculpture, and even wallpaper.
• The Romans reinterpreted myths and concepts pertaining to the Greek Eros for Cupid in their own literature and art.
Eros and Psyche appear in Greek as early as the 4th
century BC.

Arethusa &
Alpheus

Arethusa
She is a beautiful huntress.

Arethusa
A follower of Goddess Artemis
![Page 16: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
One day…After an exhaustin
g hunt, she came
to a crystal clear
stream. She
decided to take a
swim.
![Page 17: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Then she felt something beneath her in the water. Frightened, she scampered out of the water, and
heard a voice that seemed to come from the water.
![Page 18: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Now terrified, she ran into the forest as fast as she could. The voice of the unknown told
her that he was Alpheus, the god of the river, and that he was only following
because he loved her.
![Page 19: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
She ran on, but she could never escape; a river, after all, can run longer than any mortal. Finally, completely exhausted, Arethusa
called out to Artemis.
![Page 20: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The goddess answered by changing her into a spring, but
not an ordinary spring. Arethusa plunged down
and emerged near Syracuse, on land sacred to Artemis.
Alpheus, being a river god, turned himself
back into a river, and plunged down the
same channel. Arethusa was not free
of Alpheus. Their waters
mingled.
![Page 21: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Even today, you can believe it or not, that Greek flowers are sometimes seen in the Sicilian spring, and if you throw a
wooden cup in the Alpheus river in Greece, it will reappear in Arethusa's
spring in Sicily.

Apollo
"What have you to do withwarlike weapons, saucy boy? Leave
them for hands worthy of them.Behold the conquest I have won by
means of them over the vastserpent who stretched his poisonous
body over acres of the plain!Be content with your torch, child,
and kindle up your flames, asyou call them, where you will, but presume not to meddle with my
weapons."

I love you Daphne.
At last Apollo saw her…
His heart blaze up and he started to chase her.

Apollo and his words of Love
"Stay," said Apollo, "daughter of Peneus; I am not a foe. Do not fly me as a lamb flies the
wolf, or a dove the hawk. It is for love I pursue you. You make me miserable, for fear you
should fall and hurt yourself on these stones, and I should be the cause. Pray run slower, and
I will follow slower. I am no clown, no rude peasant. Jupiter is my father, and I am lord of
Delphi, and know all things, present and future. I am the god of song and the lyre. My
arrows fly true to the mark; but alas! An arrow more fatal than mine has pierced my heart! I
am the god of medicine, and know the virtues of all healing plants. Alas! I suffer a malady
that no balm can cure!"
![Page 31: Stories of love in Greek Mythology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/558899efd8b42a27268b45ff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
But…
Daphne flew on, more
frightened of what she heard.
He asked help from her father.
"Help me, Peneus! Open the earth to enclose me, or
changemy form, which has brought me into this
danger!"

The Laurel
“O fairest of maidens, you are lost to me,” Apollo said.
“But at least you shall be my tree.
With your leaves my victors shall wreathe their brows. You shall have your part in all
my triumphs”.
