The month of February is an ideal time to read about enduring love in the face of debilitating odds. And the love story between Eros, the God of Love himself and the beautiful mortal, Psyche has all the makings of a great drama. To prove her love to her disillusioned husband, Psyche will have to go up against a jealous and disapproving celestial mother-in-law and her dangerously impossible tasks.
Greek mythology is always interesting and steeped in action, adventure, grand gestures, bad decisions and metaphorical wooden horses brimming with conniving relatives. The romance of Eros and Psyche is a saga of true love, fighting against all odds, to be an enduring tale of trust, faith and resilience.
Enjoyable and well-drawn.

Interesting telling. Some of the art seemed in consistent in places as it was hard to tell Psyche from Aphrodite

I liked this graphic novel. Using it with my students for their Greek mythology lesson.

I loved this mythical story and its graphical representation.
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty starts to lose attention of the crowd because of another beautiful girl called “Psyche”. She becomes jealous when everyone praises the beauty of Psyche, so she tries to take revenge of her with her son Eros, god of love. But Eros falls in love with Psyche and asks her to stay in a beautiful palace with invisible servants. Eros doesn’t shows his face or reveals his identity to Psyche, as he wants her to fall in love with him. After sometime, Psyche’s sisters force her to see his face and ask her to find who he is. She makes an attempt to see his face and finds that he is Eros, god of love. Eros gets angry on Psyche and leaves her because of her distrust towards him.
Psyche goes to Aphrodite’s temple to get back her love, Eros. Aphrodite then sets some challenging task for Psyche to prove her love for Eros. With love and passion for Eros, Psyche completes all the tasks of Aphrodite and finally Psyche and Eros get married and live happily forever. This story is told by a teacher Demiarties to her student Aspyritus who is depressed about her love with Promilion.

Yeah I read twiceee :D
Echi reminded me to re-read this true love in Myth :
Hahahaaaa FYI; I'm still Aphrodite hater -______-
Si Aphrodite jahat banget! Masyaa ia sirik sama Psyche sampe mauk nyelakain si Psyche :D Si Eros ya dodol jugak :D Panahnya kena dia :D
Walaupun badai menghadang; lereng bukit menerjal; lautan menghempas;
Kalo emang jodoh itu; didekatkan :D
Lima bintang kelap kelip buat perjuangannya.
(Sebenarnya; demi si Luke ya gue kalsih lima bintang :D :D :D)

Genre: retold myths, star-crossed loves
Summary: The retold story of Eros and Psyche.
Response: I liked that this version was a story within a story, a tutor telling the story to her young pupil. The lesson at the end of it was a bit of a stretch and sometimes it was difficult to tell when the story was switching between the first and second ones but overall, it was a fast paced and great visual retelling of one of my favorite myths.

It was really cheesy. I'm not sure if it is correct to define this greek mythology based graphic novel as "cheesy" but it was just is, ugh i don't know. It's about Eros and Psyche, what was i even expecting? Ugh Aphrodite, so pretentious... I almost gave it 2 stars but because of amazing quality of drawings i gave it 3 stars. Is nice if you like over-lovely kind of love stories.

This was not exactly the type of story I generally enjoy reading, but it offered some insight into a simplified version of Greek mythology, so I appreciated that. The drawing style was often quite distorted and made it hard to picture the characters as "beautiful" or "handsome" despite the story itself repeatedly telling the reader they were.

This is a charming little story, the art s pretty but it tends to be a little inconsistent. The gods are well portrayed and it wraps up with a little moral about how true love can weather the good and the bad times, the bad tempering love and letting you see it's worth.

A tale within a tale, told by a teacher to her stundent.
I love the bautiful illustations that remained faithful to the orginal tale or eros and psyche. This eries is excellent, a modern answer to the young illustrated classics I used to read, opens the eye of the readers to new worls.

I liked the story but could've done without the narrator trying to teach a young girl a lesson. Why can't it ever just be the story? It was illustrated well enough.

Eğlenceli bir dille yazılmış, Eros ve Psyche efsanesini öğrenmek isteyenler için temel mitoloji kapsamında değerlendirilebilecek bir çizgi roman...
