The Story of Psyche

by Robert Gittings

Originally published in 1936, this book contains a poetic rendition of the myth of Psyche in five parts by the English poet Robert Gittings (1911–92). The well-known tale of the beautiful girl who finds herself married to the god Cupid is retold in sensitive verse and was written fairly early in Gittings' career, shortly after he graduated from Jesus College, Cambridge. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Classical reception or the early works of Gittings.
