On the Soul's Terms

#38 | Psyche & Eros | Part One


Listen Later

Today's episode explores the story of Psyche & Eros, from the 2nd century AD by Apuleius in his novel, The Golden Ass. Part fairytale, part myth, it presents as a dream and allows us to dive deep into its imagery, symbols and motifs. In it you'll hear strands of Beauty & the Beast, Cinderella, Snow White amongst other ancient tales that were eventually recorded by the Brothers Grimm.

To get us primed we begin with the poem by John Keats, Ode to Psyche, where he expresses his devotion to the newest of the Olympian Goddesses who was never really given her full due.

This is Part One of a two part podcast - the story being simply too long and rich to fit within the confines of one single episode.
