Once upon a time, in Greek Mythology, there was a woman gifted with extreme beauty and grace called Psyche. Living her ordinary life, Psyche became famous because of her beauty that the Whole world rushed to see, stop worshiping the Aphrodite and more admire Psyche's beauty.

Being jealous due to that, Aphrodite (The Goddess of Love, Beauty, Pleasure and Procreation) asked her son, Eros (The God of Sexual Desire and Attraction), to poison men's souls in order to kill off their desire for Psyche. But, Eros also fell in love with Psyche and was completely mesmerized by her beauty.

Aphrodite that felt there's something wrong about her son, directly intervene condemned Psyche; none ever fall in love with Psyche.

Despite all the men coming her way, Psyche stayed unmarried, but she wanted to marry the man she would love. Her parents became so desperate because of their daughter's destiny and had no choice but to ask for an oracle, hoping that they would manage to solve the mystery and give a husband to their daughter.

Eros guided Apollo (The God of Music, Poetry, Art, Oracles, Archery, Plague, Medicine, Sun, Light and Knowledge) to give the oracle that Psyche will never going to marry but would marry an ugly beast whose face she would never be able to see that lived at the top of the mountain.

It was not what Psyche's parents were hoping for. They were completely devastated, as their daughter was not supposed to have such as fate, but they decided to go on and arranged the wedding of their beloved daughter with the beast.

After the wedding, Psyche was able to be with her husband only at night.

One day, Psyche determined to go to the top of the mountain where the beast lived. She keep walking, brace herself, but she can't hold her fear and shed a tear. Suddenly, Zephyros (The Anemoi (God-Wind); God of The West Wind, one of the four seasonal Anemoi) came and help her to the mountain.

When she come in to the cave of the mountain, she saw nothing because the cave was so dark and suddenly she heard a sound of a guy. It's very soft and gentle.

"Is this the beast that oracle said?" she thought

Every night Psyche spent the rest of her day with that beast, that she never knew before, by sex. His tenderness and the enormous love he showed to her made Psyche happy and fulfilled beyond her expectations and dreams.
