Description
Eros, her new husband never permits Psyche to see him. After some time, she grew lonely for her family and asked to have her sisters come visit. When they arrive, the sisters become jealous of Psyche’s beautiful new home and tell her that her husband must be some kind of monster. They suggested that she hide a lantern and a knife near her bed, so that the next time he visited her, she could look to see if he was indeed a monster. In panel three, Psyche Discovers that Her Mysterious Lover is Eros, we see Psyche with the lamp raised to view her husband as not a monster but Eros. Startled Eros awakes and flies out of the window.
