This story is in Edith Hamilton's book Mythology. I enjoyed that in this story the woman was a heroine instead of a damsel in distress. Also, I loved the play on words and names of love and soul (aka Cupid and Psyche). I would definitely rate this as one of my favorite mythology stories. Although quite short, the story does not lack depth. This was a sweet romantic tale about two lovers that were hurt by a lack of trust and who had to fight to get it back. I definitely recommend reading this story. It won't take much time and I doubt you will be unsatisfied. Of course, there are some things that may be a bit difficult to understand without knowing some Greek/Roman mythology, but this does not substantially change the story. If you like this one there are, of course, other great hero and love stories in Hamilton's book.
