Cupid and Psyche is often read as a luminous tale: the trials of love, the fall, forgiveness, and final reunion.
This book takes a different path.
The Affection That Outlives the Gods rereads the myth without softening it, and without turning it into a consoling moral lesson. At its centre is not the triumph of ideal love, but a bond marked by desire, woundedness, distance, dependence, and survival.Psyche is not reduced to an innocent victim. Cupid is not absolved as a purely romantic figure. The gods are not merely narrative obstacles, but powers that watch over, discipline, and test whatever remains human within the myth.
