Keep your own name and demand the gods say it.This reimagining of the myth's earliest written source—the 2nd-century Roman text Metamorphoses by Apuleius—centers its heroine's interior life and questions Cupid's place in it. Using the original Roman naming conventions, Psyche examines what happens when a woman pushes back on the story that others would write for her.Psyche of Crete is determined to marry with greater happiness than her sisters. When her beauty threatens Venus's influence, the goddess of love takes the matter personally and dispatches her son Cupid to intervene. Pricked by his own weapon and falling irrevocably in love, Cupid’s attempt to claim Psyche sets her on a collision course with the gods.Caught between divine cruelty and impossible expectations, Psyche must fight for a voice in a world determined to silence her.Psyche asks what makes a myth endure: the truth it holds, or the lie it comforts us with.
