Physche was so beautiful when she was born that her king father compared her to the great goddess of beauty, Aphrodite or Venus. Outraged when she heard this, she sent her son Eros or Cupid, to shoot her with one of his arrows that makes anyone fall in love with the first person they see. So when Eros was about to shoot her, he accidentally pricked himself in the finger and fell in love with Physche. And so he married her.
