Psyche was born so beautiful that she was worshipped as a new incarnation of Venus, the goddess of love. But human lovers were too intimidated to approach her, and Apollo recommended her father abandon her on a crag where she would marry “a cruel and savage, serpent-like winged evil.” But Psyche’s story ended up being much more interesting. Brendan Pelsue shares the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

Thank you, I was looking for this comment :)
@@cozybeatsretreat I only knew it cause of Stephen Fry's book "Mythos". This stuff is so cool and interesting!
I agree and I'm reading the second one of Fry, Heroes, if you haven't read yet.. You should
@@tenchobarros I havent, must give it a go though! Thanks for the recommendation
Yep, I've just read this story on Edith Hamilton's 'Mythology' and that part is missing. And it's important.
"how can i raise a baby with a man she has never seen" ok but this is perfectly reasonable
Well, she repeatedly slept with a man that she never saw. 🤷♀️
It is also reasonable to me since Cupid knows who she is, sees her face and gets impressed by her beauty, while Psyche knows nothing about him. Psyche may enjoy spending nights with him but this does not means she can entrust her child to a stranger and share her life with him. I think love does not exist without trust.
In one of the versions, it was her two jealous sisters who influenced her to find out. She later tricked them into jumping off a cliff.
Ah how do you think blind people done it 😒
@@emmasuniverse7710 That's the thing, Psyche isn't blind and there's a choice for her to see the man. Blindness is another story, you don't have a choice when you are blind, But when you can perfectly see, you are going to want to see your spouse.
Psyche: “Beauty is a curse.”
Yet she tries to steal/keep MORE beauty for herself.
Yeah that's contradictory
!!!!!
Every Greek hero has an imperfection in them which causes their demise i believe it was psyche's insecurity that caused her downfall
Maybe that's why she thinks it's a curse. You keep wanting more for yourself. The exact same case with both Psyche and Venus.
I mean she did do all those impossible things, she must have felt like she deserved it and I don't blame her.
So, persephone dropped "sleep" when asked for her beauty because you need a "beauty sleep" to be like her ? OK
actually, Persephone gave her sleep because she was annoyed at Aphrodite and was playing a joke on her
Damn, that must've caused Sleeping Beauty -2000
Oh. Okay. I thought it was because the beauty of the dead *is* sleep. Thks for the tip ;)
Prosopina is persephone?
@@eleniplevriti3304 yes, same, only a little bit different version of name
Psyche's sisters actually poisoned her thoughts, but okay. Also, the ants were there because of Demeter, whose temple Pysche had cleaned on the way while finding Eros(Cupid). She also cleaned Hera's temple, so it wasn't a river god, it was a pile of reeds that told her the answer to the second task. There were actually four tasks, the underworld task being the 4th task. The third task was to get a pitcher of Styx water. Oh well. it was a good animation though, and I loved it.
i think what u’re talking about is the greek version. and this is the roman one? idk lol
If there's one thing greek myths are bad at, it's consistency.
Yes this is part of the story. But I think they did the Roman version bec. They called Aphrodite, Venus.
Yeah but animators aren't free so some tactical editing has to happen
Yeah and didn't psyche took revenge on her sister and trick her to jump of a cliff

In another version her name is Hedone, which does indeed roughly translate to joy or pleasure.

*Queen of the underworld, since Hades is technically God of the Underworld, not the Dead although he can control the dead but Thanatos is Angel(ik it's not god but still) of Death
I love how the gods don't say no to anything. They just give you a series of impossible tasks. How polite.
most turn out to be possible, though. all the better for stories!
The version I read, stated that psyche loathed how beautiful she was because it isolated her from the world. Cupid had fallen for her not just for her looks, but for the way she handled it: she didn't want to be beautiful, she just wanted to be loved for who she was.
Why did psyche experienced those hardships!
Being good looking but hard to find someone who genuinely loves you, even back then it was still relevant.
is this video roman or greek myth? because it mixes characters names from both
I think this is the first time there was a happy ending in an ancient myth
Naaaah there was Perseus
There was also Heracles
Eagle_spangled_tricolor definitely not heracles
Thats what I kept thinking the entire time! I was preparing myself for a tragic end. Phew! glad it was a happy ending for them : )
There was Perseus
She did all of this while pregnant?!?? Man that’s effort. : edit so I’m saying that she is putting so much effort to be with her loved one while risking the baby’s health and her sim not saying her baby is a sorrow I’m saying she’s super strong and a warrior ( ps ty for all the likes!)
Pregnancy is neither injury nor illness. Women--and their mates--who treat it as such . . .reap what they sow.

Women do have to be extra careful

This isn't my comment but I did think of this when the narrator was telling the myth but someone told something like so I'm not trying to copy.
Psyche: Beauty is a curse.
Also her: Maybe I should take some of the beauty I got from the underworld and use it on myself.

Psyche thought beauty was a curse but in the end she became immortal and lived happily. Can I be cursed too?

Rivaldoniofantarious Nelsonium haha you're too sweet
i watched the cool with you MV so now i had to watch this
So many interesting parts of this beautiful story were left out creating a lot of holes. And it feels real good that a lot of viewers are filling in these holes! And i could not resist sharing the very painful and moving parting words Cupid uttered as he flew away from his beloved . He said, " I inflict no other punishment on you than to leave you for ever. Love cannot dwell with suspicion." Surely, in matters of relationship, love cannot truly live or bloom without the calming and reassuring presence of trust.
I never regretted finding your channel.

Any plans on making Hades-Persephone myth?
I want that too
was waiting for that too until now
One day Hades, God of the Underworld, saw Persephone and instantly fell in love with her.
Hades confided his secret in his brother Zeus, asking for help, so the two of them concocted a plan to trap her. As the girl (Persephone) played with her companions, they caused the ground to split underneath her.
Persephone slipped beneath the Earth and Hades stole her to the Underworld where he made her his wife.
The myth says that Persephone was very unhappy, but after much time, she came to love the cold-blooded Hades and lived happily with him.
A Different Version Of The Myth Of Hades And Persephone
The myth of Hades and Persephone also has a different version; in this one Demeter was present when Persephone was kidnapped by God Hades but was tricked by Zeus and Hades.
That morning when Demeter descended on Earth with her daughter Persephone , she left her to play with the sea nymphs called Nereids and the Naiads who were the freshwater nymphs of the lakes, springs and rivers.
*Persephone And Flower Narcissus*
Demeter went to supervise her bountiful crops. As Persephone engaged in play and with the rest of the group, her attention fell upon the potently fragrant valley nearby and she couldn’t take her eyes of the yellow flower narcissus. She called upon her playmates to accompany her, but they couldn’t possibly go with her as leaving the side of their water bodies would result in their death.
The flower Narcissus was planted there by Gaia, who was following the orders of Zeus. The goal was to enchant Persephone and attract her, away from her guides.
So, Persephone danced her way to the garden alone and tried to pluck the narcissus from the bosom of Gaia. It drained her energies as the narcissus only came out after a lot of pulling. But suddenly, to her utter fright, she saw the tiny hole from which she had drawn out the flower shaft, began to rapid grow in size until it started to resemble a mighty enormous chasm.
Hades Kidnapping Persephone
From this came the vigorous galloping sounds of multiple horses and such sudden happenings only froze the frail beauty to her feet. Out of all her friends only the naiad Cyane tried to rescue the crying Persephone but she was no match for the powerful Hades. Bereaving her friend’s kidnap, Cyane melted into a pool of tears and formed the river Cyane at the spot.
*Goddess Demeter Trying To Find Persephone*
Demeter rushed back to where she had left her daughter and found only the Cyane river there with the other nymphs weeping. Worried as she was, she asked all as to the whereabouts of her beloved daughter.
Nobody could tell her anything at all and furious that they couldn’t protect her child, she cursed all the nymphs into becoming heinous women with plumed bodies and scaly feet, called the sirens. It was only the river Cyane who helped her by washing over the belt of Persephone, indicating that something gravely wrong had happened.
Demeter went mad and hunted for her daughter everywhere. The myth says that she even disguised herself as an aged lady and with lighted torched in her hands roamed the Earth for nine long days and nine long nights.
Finally, she met Hecate, the deity of magic, witchcraft, spirits and crossroads, at the dawn of the 10th day who had pity at her dismal condition and asked her to seek help from the all seeing Helios, the sun god. Helios told Demeter all about how Hades had dragged Persephone into the underworld.
*Persephone In The Underworld*
Persephone’s mother, Demeter, begged her brother Hades to allow Persephone to come back to the livings, denoting that the young Persephone was not supposed to live in the underworld. Hades consulted with Zeus and they both decided to allow Persephone to live on earth for six months each year, while the rest of the time she would be on his side in the Underworld.
Before leaving the underworld, Persephone had been persuaded to eat four seeds of a pomegranate. In ancient mythology, to eat the fruit of one’s captor meant that one would have to return to that captor or country, so Persephone was doomed to return to the underworld for four months of the year. But she was allowed to spend the remaining two-thirds of the year with her Earth Mother, Demeter.
The myth of Hades and Persephone is associated with the coming of Spring and Winter: When Persephone comes to the Earth, it’s springtime. When she descends to Hades, it is winter...
I too wish to see that

youtube recommended me this after newjeans cool with you 😅
She wasn't pregnant, she had two younger sisters who where jealous and made her doubt her husband.
But I am familiar with the Greek version, maybe the Roman (which this video told) is different in those aspects.
LagiNaLangAko23 I can't remember did they came to her, or vice versa, but either way they were pretty envious and were telling Psyche that her husband is a monster and that she should be scared so she must check how he looks. Yeah, they did fall off a cliff !
Jinxx Sphinxx same I have never here's it from the Roman side like in this video
If a religion like the mormon church came to exist from a fanfic of the bible, what keeps a bunch of greek immigrants who are not exactly athenians, like most the stories you'll ever know, to modify lightly a story that they never had written until this guy in Rome and some other in Athens
That's true! And it especially comes to play with older myths and tales;
errors in translation, change based upon personal preference, a bit of
an exaggeration to make it more 'spicy'.... you end up with a hundred
versions of one story.
Also, in the version that I was first aquatinted with, she had slightly different challenges she had to face, and on the end, she died.
Finally a rational explanation for the question "why i was single"
Aw well....
Same
Read Mythos and Heroes from Stephen Fry, It very well explained
Smh, mother in laws been interfering since the time of gods.
I like this story cause it shows the extent at which human sympathy can help people overcome hardships but also that our combined efforts are always stronger then individual acts.
Fun facts..Not only does Psyche means soul (Psychology,Psychiatrist,Psychometry,Psychosocial..) it also means butterfly, so no wonder the college org symbolism for psych students looks like a butterfly, and btw the latin form for their daughter.. Pleasure is actually Voluptas which is the origin of the word.. voluptuous meaning sensually arousing. :) -I love the classics!
Kevin Navalta it's a beautiful name of you know that
Sensual arousing is very different from pleasure. The former seems shallow and animal like. Reminds me that I was a chimpanzee in the savanna not too long ago.
Oh, that would explain why Tapu Lele is a butterfly.
Kevin 080592. My voluptuos pleasure is directed by my physce and whatever feelings the gods decide to make me feel that day, no wonder i don't get laid.
This is a Greek myth which was translated in latin, and maybe adopted by the Romans. Psyche (ψυχή) is the soul, the spirit, the fire that lies within us, everything that makes us alive. Volupta is the translation in latin, the actual name was Pleasure.
Soul + Love = Pleasure (thanks for clearing that up)
Digital ghost FBI open up
Neil Clyde ur not the only one who has to deal with pervs -.-
Thanks For Clearing That Up ❤
The lesson here: Love takes work. If you are not willing to go above and beyond for your partner, perhaps it is not a love worth pursuing.
PSYCHE: beauty is a curse
ALSO PSYCHE: *tries to steal some more beauty for herself*
Better love story than Twilight
better than a lot of love stories
everything is better than twilight
2 tooth brushes in a cup on your bathroom counter is a better love stiry than twilight -.-
I would watch a movie of this more than I would Twilight
This myth is so legendary and inspiring it makes Twilight look like a horror movie.
love cannot survive where there is no trust
if love cant survive when there's no trust, then the story already ended when Cupid left her after she looked at his face. That scene literally show how both of them have no trust
True, but there are still 'need to knows', like who it is you're sleeping with and fathering your kid. I wonder why Eros didn't shapeshift. She wouldn't have to know who he really was or even be given a name but she could at least have the satisfaction of not being completely left in the dark, literally.
I say this all the time
Well from the start Cupid was in the wrong for not wanting her to see his face
cupid was the one who couldn't trust- he didn't believe they could be lovers as both mortal and god and so forced Phyche to meet unrealistic requirements
New Jeans brought me here, great story
When this guy Narrates he uses both the Roman and Greek names.
Venus= Roman
Zephyr/Zephyros= Greek
This is from the original story, written in Latin in the second century, by Apuleius. It’s in his novel called “Metamorphoses.” He is using “Zephyrus.” (The West Wind)
Psyche is Greek and Cupid is Roman. Eros is supposed to be in this story, not Cupid. Venus is also Roman, Aphrodite is supposed to be in the place of Venus. This story is supposed to be a Greek myth, not Roman. And it is Persephone, not Proserpine.
Kawaii Something thank you, I was going to type the same thing. I cringed at the names so hard.
Also I believe their kids name is Hedone, the story was supposed to represent the unity Eros (Love) and Psyche (The human soul) to create Hedone (Joy)
Kawaii Something
1. "Psyche is Greek and Cupid is Roman." ✔️
2. "Eros is supposed to be in this story, not Cupid."- Cupid and Eros are one and the same. Both of their names mean "desire."
3. "Venus is also Roman, Aphrodite is supposed to be in the place of Venus." ✔️, but this story is of Roman origin, so Venus is used.
4. "This story is supposed to be a Greek myth, not Roman."- This story is told by Apuleius, a Latin writer, as part of Metamorphoses. Yes, the characters are based from Greek mythology, but as aforementioned, the story itself is of Roman origin.
5. "And it is Persephone, not Proserpine."- See #3.
lurkerofthenight xx Hedone is a Greek name, Voluptas is Roman. Both mean "pleasure."
the way you explained this is so convoluted FOH

Your comment reminds me of 'The Alchemist ' ❤️
is this from om shanti om
Cupid is Latin(Roman) and Eros is Greek. Psyche is Greek. So why do people keep calling this pair Cupid and Psyche. Just because Cupid is more iconic doesn't make that right.
cross border romances, if she could go to the underworld couldn't she just apply for a visa you think?
Bharat Yadav This is an underrated comment.
haha, thanks :)
I honestly think you cupid and psyche sound better together
The complete story is from a Latin author named Apuleius. In his work, Apuleius used the names Cupid & Psyche. The Romans would often use Greek names in their writings.
Cool with you ❤

Yeah! Sorry
And ricks version is darker than this one
I love his books their really good.
Me too but from Greek heroes
Is this a mistake? Because *the name pairings are wrong...*
To the Romans, they were called "Cupid"/"Amor" and "Anima", but *the Greeks originally paired them as "Eros and Psyche".*
The complete story is from a Latin author named Apuleius. In his work, Apuleius used the names Cupid & Psyche. The Romans would often use Greek names in their writings.
Raymond Congo)) This is a Greek story. I know this because they don’t say Venus’ son.
Catu Draws They literally do call him Venus’s son....
Catu Draws this is the Roman version
I read this years ago in fifth grade from the book by rick riordan: Greek heroes, which has a bit of added humour and also kinda symbolizes beauty and the beast since Eros or Cupid was considered a monster since he could meddle with anyone’s love life
And this is going to be my Quarantine cure for boredom.
Thanks for being here Ted-Ed.
Finally one Greek story that doesn’t have a sad ending!
using english, latin and greek names together kinda sucks

@ALEXANDRIA SERGENT And also Aphrodite's Latin name.
@ALEXANDRIA SERGENT The video is retelling the myth as written by the Roman author Apuleius (from his novel 'Metamorphoses / Asinus aureus') from the 2nd century AD. While the myth is older than that and there are older ancient Greek art works depicting them, this novel is the only written source of the story from antiquity that tells an extended narrative and survived. So using the Latin names definitely makes sense.
We were learning about this in our Online Class and I’ve understand this Story more than the one our teacher was telling us
At 0:28 I love how her real life human lovers includes women too. That tiny detail made my day
Isn't it Eros, Aphrodite and Persephone? I swear the names used were from Roman mythology?
Cinnamon Yates the ones you used are the greek forms of the ones they used
They are using Roman names as the romans basically just copy pasted greek myths and changed the names and a few other stuff
I was confused because they used the Roman names whilst mentioning it as Greek mythology if I remember so I was a tad puzzled.
Psyche and Persephone were different tho....
Psyches name wasn't changed. Cinnamon is referring to persephone the goddess of the underworld since the name was prosperitis or whatever it was.
