Talk:Cupid and Psyche

message: Nowadays we already understand, this story only symbolized in the era of around 1800 years ago, women's freedom is only to be packed as a product and only could be chosen by men.
Now most people had already known that this story belongs to a kind of fantasy, not in reality. Because they 2 people actually had no mature minds to experience what is life, and their love were only similar to those teenagers.

message: The novel is a very late literary form (hence the name novel, which means new) and should be used sparingly to describe any work of literature written before the eighteenth century;it should never be used to describe a work that pre-dates Cervantes' Don Quixote, which is considered the first novel.70.24.91.8 (talk) 14:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

text: But what about the fact that this article is titled "Cupid and Psyche"? Shouldn't that mean we should stick to the use of all Roman names, or change the page name? --France3470 14:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Why Psyche can be the daughter of the King

message: I have no clue what happened to this page, but sometime in the past few months, what was originally a fairly comprehensive and well written article has been replaced by something else entirely. I'm reverting back to the Revision as of 20:53, 6 October 2007 by Gawaxay, because after that the article has been replaced by someone's own unreferenced version of the story. I doubt there will be any objections to this but if there please just leave a note here. --France3470 14:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Reverting to earlier version

message: Once upon a time I learned that Psyche did not receive her name before she was deified, taken up into the heaven of the Olympus; and that her name as earthly princess of Sicily was Pernanaia (personified selling or marketing) or Phorne (prostitute). Perhaps this is merely a modern attribution to the story, but I find it interesting. If there are someone who are able to help me find where I've got this from I'd be pleased.--Xact (talk) 18:55, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pernanaia/Phorne 

message: Cupid once scratched himself with one of his own arrows by mistake. He was looking at a woman called Psyche, and fell in love with her. He knew that his mother Venus would be angry, so he hid Psyche away and told her that she must never try to look at him. Psyche thought that she had been captured by a hideous monster, and, of course, couldn't resist taking a peep. She was enchanted by the first sight of her handsome husband, and while playing with his arrows, scratched herself as well. So now they were both desperately in love with each other, see right. Venus drove Psyche away, and she had many adventures before she was allowed to stay with Cupid, and Venus became reconciled to being a mother-in-law!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.164.135 (talk) 18:49, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  How they fell in love 

message: I posted this for further reference to incorporate into this article. It will have to be re-written because I didn't write it. Thought I'd "talk" about it before writing my own summary.
:The Fall and deliverance of the soul are portrayed in a dramatic and graphic manner. The soul is a female (the Greek word for soul, psyche, is feminine). Originally she is a virgin, androgynous in form, living in the presence of the heavenly Father. When she falls into a body, however, she is defiled: after abandoning her Father's house and her virginity, she falls into sexuality and prostitution, and is abused by the wanton adulterers of this carnal world. Desolate and repentant, she prays to her Father for restoration, and he hears her prayer. She is returned to her former condition, and restored to androgynous union with her brother. This union is achieved through spiritual and her bridegroom "become a single life," inseparable from each other. Thus the ascent of the soul to the Father is accomplished, and the soul is again at home in heaven. [The Nag Hammadi library in English], By Marvin W. Meyer, James McConkey Robinson. 68.0.151.39 (talk) 02:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The exegesis on the soul 

message: The logo of the BPS depicts Psyche and her lamp, as homage to the origin of the word Psych and Psychology. Seems worth a mention.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.57.181 (talk) 07:49, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The legend as told in this article is completely different to what is told in Apuleius's The Golden Ass, and no citations are given for the new elements of the story. I'm accordingly rewriting it completely!Wwallacee (talk) 03:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The legend section  

message: I feel like this article needs a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid but I'm not sure what the rules are for how to best introduce a link, I'm guessing it should be in a sentence about Cupid himself, but there's no such sentence in the top part of the article. 46.252.130.50 (talk) 12:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing hyperlink to Cupid 

message: Section Psyche and the underworld, in the quotation is the below text.
  The airway of Dis is there
Should probably by stairway - but I don't have any reference around to check. Could someone knowledgeable edit?
:Airway is correct. I don't know whose translation this is, but my daughter found another translation of the same passage at http://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/TheGoldenAssVI.htm - "There is a breathing-hole of Dis, and through its gaping portal..." -- John of Reading (talk) 21:41, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Probable Typo 

message: It reads like the Metamorphoses is the same as the Golden Ass, and in the rest of the sentence, if you don't know already, it is hard to tell which work is being referred to.  I don't know for sure, but it is possible that this is what is meant: "Cupid and Psyche is a story from Ovid's Metamorphoses, that is retold (at greater length?) in The Golden Ass, which was written in the 2nd century AD by Apuleius.  The story concerns..."  Also I don't see a reason why "Metamorphoses" is not linked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphoses.  I'm not sure of the relationship between the two works, because I've only read the Metamorphoses, but there is detail of the story that I don't remember from Ovid, so that is why I suggested that the tale was retold "at greater length" in Apuleius.  But if someone who knows could just reword the beginning of the article so that it is clear when it is talking about Ovid, when Apuleius, and when the generic story itself, that would be helpful.

replies: text: Thanks, someone recently changed that and I let it go because I didn't know, I will change it as you suggested. Raquel Baranow (talk) 19:07, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I went back and looked it up, but I can't find the story in Ovid at all.  (I should have looked before commenting, sorry!)  What I can find is this quote from the note at the end of "Till We Have Faces" by C. S. Lewis (the note is also by Lewis): "The story of Cupid and Psyche first occurs in one of the few surviving Latin novels, the Metamorphoses (sometimes called The Golden Ass) of Lucius, Apuleius Platonicus, who was born about 125 AD."  Actually, I think the mention of Ovid is just wrong here, so since I added to the confusion, I'll try to fix it. FideliaE (talk) 15:34, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
