Mythology: the fable of Cupid (god of Love)and Psyche (the soul) Mythol Readings #3
"The invisible is better understood through the visible" (St. Paul).
For Valentine's Day: Mythological stories of Love and Adventure. This story is told by Apuleius, a Latin writer of the second century AD, so the Latin names of the gods are used. It is a prettily-told tale, after the manner of Ovid. The writer is entertained by what he writes (believes, of course, none of it).
From the book 'Mythology' by Edith Hamilton (1867-1963).
Greek and Roman mythology is quite generally supposed to show us the way the human race thought and felt untold ages ago. Through it, according to this view, we can retrace the path from civilized man who lives so far from nature to man who lived in close companionship with nature. And the real interest of the myths is that the lead us back to a time when the world was young and people had a connection with the earth, like the trees, and seas, and flowers and hills. Little distinction was made between the real and the unreal, the imagination was vividly alive and not checked by the reason.
The Greeks made their gods in their own image. This had not entered into the mind of man before. Until then, the gods had had no semblance of reality. They were unlike all living things: towering colossuses, a woman with a cat's head, the sphynx, , men with birds' heads, and eagle wings... This was the pre-Greek world. The miracle of Greek mythology is a humanized world, free from the paralyzing fear of the great Unknown.
