Description

This vintage book contains the tale of the marriage of Cupid and Psyche, translated from the Latin of Apuleius by William Adlington. Originally from Lucius Apuleius's 2nd century AD "Metamorphoses", it is concerned with the various obstacles to Psyche and Cupid's love, their overcoming of these obstacles, and their eventual marriage. A fantastic introduction to Latin literature, "Cupid and Psyche - From the Latin of Apuleius" is highly recommended for those with an interest in Greek mythology. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with its original artwork and text.
