#ClassicsTober - Psyche in Ancient Greek not only means soul but also butterfly. My watercolour represents Psyche (as butterflies) and the heart shape represents Cupid her lover. The butterflies also represent the story ‘Metamorphosis’ by Platonicus
October 10 (ψυχή): So my ACTUAL #ClassicsTober contribution today is Psyche walking in the lush and flowery dale where Cupid's palace is placed. It is said that the palace had golden pillars, so I imagined they were also golden on the outside.
We have ψυχη (Psyche) as a #ClassicsTober prompt today. Minimus and Minima would like to show you how to tell Cupid and Psyche apart
💪 For both day 10 of #classicstober and #WorldMentalHealthDay one of the most poignant bits of advice from ancient minds.
“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” —Socrates

#ClassicsTober day 10: Psyche. The idol of Aphrodite at Aphrodisias ponders why her shrines are empty. Meanwhile, the simple folk of Caria sneak off to worship psyche.
#ClassicsTober Day 10: 'Psyche'. Passing over the obvious, Canova's Cupid and Psyche, here is Jean-Honoré Fragonard's Psyche Showing Her Sisters Her Gifts from Cupid.
Day 10 of #ClassicsTober : Ψυχή (Psyche) is the Greek word for soul, and also for butterfly. Joaquín Ariosto y Jesús Pérez Rivera are Mexican artists who created this gorgeous piece of arte en popotillo—each line is a piece of a reed placed carefully in a mosaic on beeswax.
#ClassicsTober Day 10 Psyche. my Graduation Ceremony for my Classics BA Degree was in Harrogate in May. In Crescent Gardens there is statue of Cupid and Psyche - photos HAD to be taken! 😆 sorry about the poor quality photos the statue was enclosed in glass
