Cupīdō et Psȳchē I

(adapted from the work of Pitt Classics student Sarah Street & Apuleius’s Metamorphoses)

Nōmen mihi Psȳchē est. Nāta sum fīlia mortālis rēgis rēgīnaeque, sed facta sum dea. Duās maiōrēs sorōrēs habēbam, quae pulchriōrēs erant, sed pulcherrima fuī. Omnēs meam fōrmam mīrābantur et mihi dōna et laudem adferēbant. Quīdam etiam loquēbantur mē esse pulchriōrem Venere ipsā! Nōn sciēbam, sed Venus mē ōdit. Illa īrāta dea fīliō suō Cupīdinī imperāvit ut mē sagittā percuteret.
