			Eros was ordered by his mother, Aphrodite, whom after becoming jealous of a human woman, [[Psyche]] and her beauty that rivaled the goddess, told Eros to make her fall in love with an ugly and unworthy man. Eros instead, fell in love with the woman himself after accidentally pricking himself with his own arrow after shooting her. After various trials and tribulation on both lover's parts, they overcome them and are eventually married.<ref>{{WP\|Cupid and Psyche}}</ref>
