Too Beautiful to Be LovedCupid and Psyche

Everyone worships her, but no one falls in love with her. Princess Psyche is so beautiful that she earns the jealousy of the goddess Venus. In this first episode, Psyche tells her father, "I want someone to really see me." Then the god of prophecy gives his answer: "Leave her on a mountain crag as a bride. Her husband is a winged monster."
