The Tale of Cupid and Psyche

Is Cupid and Psyche a romance, a folktale, a Platonic allegory of the nature of the soul, a Jungian tale of individuation, or an archetypal dream? This volume provides Joel Relihan's lively translation of this best known section of Apuleius' Golden Ass , some useful and illustrative parallels, and an engaging discussion of what to make of this classic story.
