Amor and Psyche: the psychic development of the feminine, a commentary on the tale by Apuleius. Apuleius Pantheon Books, New York, 1956.
abstract   bibtex   
The tale concerns the overcoming of obstacles to the love between Psyche "Soul" or "Breath of Life") and Cupid (Latin Cupido, "Desire") or Amor ("Love", Greek Eros '′Ερως), 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, and myth.
