Eros visited Psyche every night with the condition that she would never look at how he looked physically. Psyche was fine with it. She loved him and was taken good care of by him. So, she continued to live in his castle and enjoy the gardens that he gave her.

 

Psyche's two sisters were, however, jealous and incited her into taking a look at her lover. She did see Eros and this is when the castle and the gardens just vanished. Cupid deserted her. She was left all alone with no lover and no place to go. So, she set out to search for her lover and reached Venus, who set four tasks for her.

 

The last of the tasks was to carry a precious box. She was asked not to open the box until she reached her destination. However, her curiosity got the better of her again and she opened it. She fell into eternal sleep on opening the box.

 

Cupid found her lying lifeless, gathered the eternal sleep and returned it to the box. Venus had to forgive her since Psyche did finish the task. Pleased with Psyche's deeds, Jupiter blessed her with immortality and both lovers continued to live happily ever after and even had a daughter.
