Fan Favourite: The Cupid & Psyche Trilog...

Liv Albert
About this episode

This is a re-airing of the fan favourite episodes on Cupid and Psyche, combined into one epic episode.

 

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

 

Sources: Apuleius' The Golden Ass, translated by Sarah Ruden.
