Eros fell in love with the mortal princess Psyche, whose beauty had aroused Aphrodite’s jealousy. Instead of causing her to love the most despicable of men as Aphrodite had commanded, Eros placed Psyche in a remote palace where he could visit her secretly and, at his insistence, only in total darkness. When Eros fled after Psyche discovered his identity, Aphrodite imposed several difficult tasks on Psyche before she was finally rescued by and reunited with Eros.
