Reading Diary B: Apuleius's Cupid and Psyche

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts of the second section of "The Story of Cupid and Psyche" from The Golden Ass written by Aphuleius and translated by Tony Kline.  

• Nowadays if a mother wants to know who her son is dating she just creeps through his social media.  I guess in ancient times it was more difficult. 
• Wow. Threatening to produce a better son than him.  That's cold.
• I think Venus was the original "Wicked Step-Mother."
• I would prefer to have birds help me with my tasks rather than ants. haha. 
• Proserpine and Psyche can bond over crazy mothers...
• I forget that Psyche is one of the few who makes in and out of the underworld.  
• She should've learned from Pandora that you never open the box.
• Is this a combination of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty?  
• Judging by the way mythology normally goes I did not expect a happy ending.  But I'm glad there is!
• The ending just makes me think of Shrek.  Wow this story has so much fairy tale influence.
