Psyche and Eros (sohyun park)

 Hi this is SoHyun Park

The myth I chose is Psyche and Eros.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Psyche, was the youngest daughter of a king. She was so beautiful that she appeared goddess like. The people of her country began to worship her instead of Aphrodite. Aphrodite annoyed that and she decided to punish Psyche.

Aphrodite sent her son Eros to use his power to make Psyche fall in love with the ugliest thing on Earth. But, Eros saw Psyche's beauty for himself and fell in love with her. He arranged for Psyche to be brought to desolate area and was told that she was to marry an evil being.

Eros came to Psyche when she had gone to bed every night. She was never to see him or know his identity. She became lonely and homesick. She begged to see her 2 sisters. Although Eros was wary, he could not deny his beautiful bride her wish,

Her sister came to visit after being invited. They were immediately jealous of Psyche's good fortune and together, they convinced her that her husband was a dangerous monster and that she must leave him at once.Psyche, being young and naive, believed her sisters.

The next night, She lit the lamp when she was sure that her husband was asleep next to her. When Psyche finally gazed upon Eros, she was shocked to see his perfection and beauty. out of surprise, she dropped some oil from the lamp on Eros. This awoke him and once he realized Psyche saw him, he swiftly departed, abandoning her.

Psyche was filled with grief and dispair. finally Psyche went to Aphrodite herself. Aphrodite She made Psyche her slave and asked of her impossible tasks.  Her final task was to deliver a golden box, which Aphrodite told her she was forrbiden to open. Naturally, Psyche did open it and fell into a deep sleep of death.

Eros in the mean time was also miserable without Psyche. He approached Zeus with his dilema and Zeus decided to let Eros desire to be with Psyche be. Aphrodite gave up her vendeta against Psyche and welcomed her into the family.

--------------------------------------------------------------

My concept is that the love of Psyche and Eros is patience. 

There are obstacles(jealous, doubt,,) take place to them but they get over these difficult situations.

I brought the idea of stone tower(make a wish). and it can be collapse by surroundings.

this is my sketch. I'm still working on it :-)   
Thank you :-)
