About this listen

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.
