No.8: Eros And Psyche



Vinyl On Canvas, 40cm X 50cm

Eros (Love),was the son of Aphrodite , the goddess of love and beauty .He had the power to make gods or mortals fall in love once struck by his arrow. His mother , Aphrodite hearing rumours that a mere mortal woman named Psyche (soul),had a reputation of being more beautiful than herself became very vexed.She ordered Eros to deal with her once and for all. She asked him to find Psyche and pierce her with an arrow making sure that a hideous creature would be close by so that she can fall for the monster.Having approached Psyche who was sleeping in a wood, Eros was stunned by her beauty, stumbled and grazed himself with his own arrow, helplessly falling in love with Psyche........
