The last part is like a different Fairy Tale

The final portion of the Cupid and Psyche story is very much like a different Fairy Tale you might be familiar with...

One with a poor young woman who is treated like a slave...

I'll be back to post the final portion of Cupid and Psyche soon.

Until then, you can get your thinking cap on and get ready to guess which other Fairy Tale (with an animal helper) springs from Cupid and Psyche...

Cupid And Psyche Basis For Other Tales

Did you guess that the ancient Cupid and Psyche (or, 'Eros and Psyche') story is the backbone of some other well-known, well-loved pieces?

Does Psyche remind you of any more modern character?

What about the 'voices' and the treatment Psyche receives in the castle?

She is given all manner of exquisite and attractive items, foods, treatment and entertainment.

This should remind you of something that Disney has had out for almost 20 years (in 'new animation' on film - and much longer than 20 years in the Disney Classic storybooks for children)! In a Fairy Tale that most people think is quite new!
