Question

Description acceptable. In Madame d’Aulnoy’s retelling of this classical myth, Laideronette is cursed by Magotine and served by pagodas. Neoplatonist readings of this myth as a description of the union of the soul with God influenced later Christian interpreters. (15[1])Bruno Bettelheim (15[1])identifies this myth as the forerunner of Western animal-groom fairy tales like “Beauty and the Beast.” The Grimms’ Cinderella references this myth’s task of sorting (*) lentils, (10[3])which a character (10[2]-5[2])does (10[1])while assisted (10[1])by ants. (10[1]-5[1])A (10[1])talking tower (10[2])offers a character in this myth honey cakes that are used to distract Cerberus. Apuleius’s (-5[2])The Golden Ass popularized this myth, in which a girl is convinced by her jealous sisters that her lover is a serpent and she (10[1])breaks a promise to him by looking at him (-5[1])with an oil lamp. For 10 points, name this classical myth in which an arrow-wielding god of love falls in love with a mortal. ■END■ (10[5]0[2])

ANSWER: Cupid AND Psyche [accept Eros in place of “Cupid”] (The first line references “The Green Serpent.”)
