In this episode of Ancient Society, Lexi and Philip spill all the ambrosia about the story of Psyche and Eros, the dramatic origin of love itself.

You’ll hear how Psyche’s mortal beauty drove Aphrodite into a divine meltdown, how Eros literally shot himself with his own arrow, and how one drop of lamp oil turned paradise into heartbreak. Plus, we break down the impossible trials that make Aphrodite the original “villain mother‑in‑law” and reveal how Psyche ultimately glowed‑up into an immortal goddess.

It’s messy. It’s romantic. It’s mythological chaos at its best.

Get ready for pure ancient chaos. This week, Lexi and Filip dive into the monster-sister duo Scylla and Charybdis, aka the nautical nightmare fuel that gave us “between a rock and a hard place.” We’re talking glam-goth sea girls, cursed potions, messy one-sided beef, and yet another man who can’t take a hint. Zeus pops in to ruin things (again), and somehow everyone ends up monstrous except the guy who caused it.
