      @@jamiemohan2049 She's not his daughter, I mean sometimes, rarely. But the most known myth of Aphrodite's birth is this one: "Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus, after his son Cronus threw them into the sea." So she's not related to him, or maybe she count as Uranus' daughter.

      I think it is because Eros is a god and he wanted Psyche to love him for his heart and not because he is a god. Maybe it was a test on her soul since she is a mortal. The idea that love is blind. But I agree it is a little selfish of Eros to not let Psyche see him. Psyche's sisters planted doubt in her heart though, harming her and Eros's relationship. Psyche then had to go through a series of tasks to prove her love of him. She's successful and becomes a goddess and the two live happily ever after.

      @@danae9190 I may understand the lesson in the end about putting trust in love but how they story was told made it sound as if the lesson is: It's hard to trust someone else if they are never really honest about themselves from the start (That would be Eros never trusting Psyche but just simply wanting her to place blind faith in him when she legitimately knew nothing about him, she never even saw his face) and gods do not see life the same way mortals do. Eros may proclaim to love is to trust but was never honest about her from the beginning especially when he was in bed with her.

Baucis and Philemon are an old couple who unknowingly welcome a disguised Zeus and Hermes into their home to spend the night, even though they are poor and don't have much. In turn, they are spared from a flood on their town because no one else had treated the gods with kindness and are granted several wishes in return that they use wisely. Perseus is the Greek hero who slays Medusa. His story plays out for the most part like a fairy tale, including a part where he frees a princess from being sacrificed to a dragon by turning it to stone with the head of Medusa.

    This is a pretty good story, as a first factor you have to admire that the god of death falls in love with someone very opposite to him, despite being the god of death he does everything possible to be with her; For her part, Demeter takes action on the matter and punishes humanity for the event, droughts and famines arrive due to the absence of her daughter, to which Zeus responds and demands the release of Persephone, Hades and his great love for her, she takes the seeds that he gives her, since he wanted to be with her, and that is why we know the seasons, the time that Demeter is with her daughter is summer and joy, when she is not there she is consumed in her reiteration and gives us winter and the autumn.

      That's what makes a difference in this video...six months or more ago...could hurt the connection of truth between gods as love...and binds to do this may not of been helpful...but holy means a sense of hidden mystery and knowing...deep past this whole part of in need to see...past that of what waits for in drawing in Christ as that before...regarding wisdom as that too...and even me could say some comments to another place to give the same reflective memories of how you would pull your friend out of the dark or something worse if you care at all...laughing...right maybe my friend needs me in some way or other parts of heaven beaten down like as Christ could endure a idea to lift you or you could? He is hard to see....to many hearts to feel...some do get in way...from finding a friend or person (Christ). As I could be too. As your friends...or other members...in families...of inheritance...needing to see what friend of any moment...as let's say Darth Vader could be in trouble...before he was that or Nick or Christ many others in place of this idea...to show one could be dragging himself or herself up a hill or ground trying TRYING to say wake up believe this in calm days or lost to dead choices I need my friend to be. To be. As you might forget...your friend...her or him...whatever in person in trouble crawling for their life..would you help them? Remember what that means to you...in heaven...in lava...in...abuse...in cross...or other moments...as power told to greed known...to what will show after in healing true...as spirit drives us...besides that...do you help your friend?....did you find that strength in full of in heart loved what you needed to overcome your fears of faces that try to overtake you?!!! No hopefully you did remember something...this video is to be believed...I would say...after one of those (!) I say I would believe to know. How words and wait Yes me Yes I think I would love to believe that in one way...or straight is the way to the kingdom of Christ as to someone as another...Nick could say the same...eyes are a mystery to some and as for me to say what I will in a test of time during current emotional wounds forsaken...I know many kingdoms love right in their life...as do I for my memory of some and another...to not give in to the cruel of corrupt ideals imposed on forgetting and not loving...them...as I won't. Thanks. I will disgrace this. But will not ever give up the one heaven of that will tell me...words that give me...what they could not see yet. Maybe it is unseen. Can you tell? I watched the exact same event I am thinking of in a movie once...but in real life...what else of heaven is concealed in pages...as you seem to care and grow. Good thing lunch money and bullies have no rhythm to see the past present and future yet. By faith in a time. Blood does cry inside to such a level...I pure truth...to know how to know if you were right at all. To keep it if the Sun could see how something works back to even tell you what each kingdom sees by sight. Eternal and measure mean for your pathways...in a reality to reckon with for how false you will know the wraith...soon. So this was created 5 or 6 to some amount ago? Crazy I would say. Cannot imagine the sound waves or travel of essence and accepting not of for some Soulful reason...still I keep...Yes I do. What about the amount of blood crying in the creation to tell you a warning in the memory of heaven as you made it possible to account such corrupt evil...soon you know what faith you still need to care about even Quick I would say. As how heaven is within and parts of it are everywhere to know what parts are not...keep faith growing..the the Holy... against the evil corrupt fear trying to control you to tell you that some other or others have given up on you which I would still say...I do not give that up of what I know always in power...as aid or cups as also Wells and a gift. What is that to this? How then can they see or feel in the future? Who knows? I would say Your strength against what's wrong in Faith in you would remove their filthy hands and sound out of your and this life. Find it and stop thier moving lies with what you Know. You seek something or your fighting something. Win.
