In modern terms, we define 'psyche' as: "The mind, soul, or spirit, as opposed to the body." It follows (or proceeds, but 🙄 language) that Psykhe (Roman: Psyche) was the goddess of the soul, associated with the butterfly. Born mortal, Psykhe grows to possess beauty so great that Aphrodite (Roman: Venus, goddess of love) herself sends Eros (R: Cupid, god of love) to stop Psykhe's admirers mortal worship. Commanded to marry Psykhe off to a most physically vile man (you didn't think the Ancient god[esse]s were just & mature, did you?), on seeing her Eros rebels & takes her as his own. Living in his secret palace, she is forbidden from looking upon his face, never knowing his identity. Jealous, her sisters trick her - she looks & is banished for it. Forlorn & alone, Psykhe scours the globe for her love, finding Aphrodite instead. The goddess takes charge of her, testing her with a sleu of seeming impossibilities, climaxing in a trip to the Underworld. With the secret help of Eros, Psykhe satisfactorily completes Aphrodite's tasks, is reunited with Eros & invited into the ranks of the pantheon. Following the birth of their daughter Hedone, goddess of pleasure, they lived happily ever after (I have some more reading to do before I can confirm this, but I actually kinda doubt they do). 📸: 'Psyche Opening the Golden Box', John William Waterhouse, 1904.

This is a previous read. I can not express how much I enjoy learning about Greek mythology. These stories are so interesting and some seem so real. If you enjoy history, or into mythology like I am; then you will surely enjoy this one! #bulfinchsmythology #thomasbulfinch #mythology #bookstoread #bookclub #bookcommunity #bookaholic #booklover #bookaddict #instagram #facebook #booknerd #books #bookobsessed #bookshelf #book #bookstagram #cookeville #tennessee (at Cookeville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXyme4ncdS/?igshid=1prtjyj1dsba4

As indicações de hoje são Os Livros de Ouro da Mitologia e dos Mistério Mistérios da Antiguidade. Ambos muito interessantes para quem se interessa pelos temas. Destaque especial para o Caso da Omm Seti (Dorothy Eady) relatado no segundo e com um trama digno de um best-seller da ficção. #mitologia #misterios #antiguidade #peterjames #nickthorpe #thomasbulfinch #livros #amoler #recomendo https://www.instagram.com/p/BsauZDdgdC7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19903fn1cu2p4

Mais para um compêndio de literatura greco-romana
Esse livro tem várias narrativas mitológicas, tiradas em parte dos autores gregos e latinos. Eu particularmente tive alguns momentos meio desconfortáveis porque o autor usa o nome latino das divindades gregas e cria algumas duplicidades. Outro ponto é a visão de "superioridade cristã" que aparece meio nas entrelinhas inicialmente e no final fica mais explícito. No geral, é bem interessante para se abrir à literatura clássica. O autor traz uns três a quatro capítulos para falar rapidamente da mitologia egípcia, hindu, nórdica e céltica. Recomendo com as ressalvas de uma visão tendenciosa nos julgamentos das narrativas. Basta lembrar que o livro é do século XIX.
