“It has a very happy ending,” the answerer replies. How does the myth of Cupid and Psyche end? Psyche and Cupid is a map of love and a story about the transformation of love that ends with freedom and the birth of a daughter named Pleasure. The mystery of love will never be unraveled. It’s one of the great mysteries of life. But by uncovering truths about love in an ancient story, by exposing a long-standing social and literary history that leaves a knot in the psyche and exploring this knotted place in our souls, I found a path leading to pleasure and discovered it is also a road to freedom.”
Carol Gilligan, The Birth of Pleasure
