Best Answer

The story of Psyche first appears in a book of stories written by Apuleius in the second century AD - The Golden Ass.

The story appears as a story (a work of fiction); we do not know if Apuleius based his tale on an earlier myth, but Apuleius himself tells the story as fiction: he doesn't believe it is true, and he does not expect his readers to believe it.

In Apuleius' tale Psyche's father has no name; he doesn't need one, since he is not a major character in the story.

One of the big differences between a tale (definitely fictional) and a myth (possibly true) is that in a tale non-essential detail is regularly omitted (it doesn't matter) whereas in a myth it is often included (if a thing is true, who knows what aspects are important, and which are not)? Her father's name is not mentioned. Only that Pyche was a beiutiful human girl, who stirred the envy of Venus.

The parents of Psyche are not named, nor are her two sisters; it is said only that they were king and queen of a city (also unnamed). It is only told in full by Apuleius.
