The Palace of Eros

Review

When Psyche is deemed more beautiful than Aphrodite the god sends her daughter Eros to deal with it, instead Eros falls in love with Psyche.

Ancient Greek mythology is the perfect setting to explore gender, marriage and what freedon really means. The strong voice of the two main charactes elevates the tale with the switching from 1st to 3rd person emphasizing the otherness of the gods.
