Description acceptable. In a retelling of this classical myth by Madame d’Aulnoy, Laidronette is cursed by Magotine and is served by pagodas. Neoplatonist readings of this myth as a description of the union of the soul with God influenced later Christian interpreters. Bruno Bettelheim identifies this myth as the forerunner of western animal-groom fairy tales, like “Beauty and the Beast.” The Grimms’ Cinderella references (-5[1])this myth’s task of sorting (*) lentils, which a (10[1])character does assisted by ants. A talking tower offers a character in this myth honey cakes which are used to distract cerberus. Apuleius’ The Golden Ass popularized this myth, in which a girl is convinced by her jealous sisters that her lover is a serpent and she breaks a promise to him by looking at him 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[1])
