邱比特與賽姬故事大綱

「厄洛斯與賽姬」(又稱「邱比特與賽姬」)是古羅馬作家阿普列烏斯在西元2世紀左右寫成的小說《金驢記》(又名《變形記》)中的一段故事。這是一個凡人少女與愛神相戀的故事,故事的核心是「不可以看」的約定。

某個國家的國王有三個女兒,么女賽姬美得被人們奉為「新的維納斯」,卻始終沒有人來求婚。女神維納斯因為人們的崇拜被搶走而大怒,命令兒子厄洛斯(邱比特)替她報復。國王擔心女兒的未來,前去求問阿波羅的神諭,得到的卻是可怕的回答:「把女兒當作新娘,放在山上的岩石上。她的丈夫是連眾神都害怕的有翼怪物。」

被留在岩石上的賽姬被西風送到山谷中的黃金宮殿,從此和只聞其聲、不見其人的僕人們,以及只在夜裡來訪、看不見樣貌的丈夫一起生活。丈夫叮囑她:「不要試圖看清我的樣子。」然而,來到宮殿的兩個姊姊嫉妒妹妹的幸福,對她說:「妳丈夫的真面目是一條大蛇。」心生恐懼的賽姬,終於拿起燈火和刀,想要看清熟睡中丈夫的臉。
