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. 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, which a character does while assisted by ants. A talking tower (10[1])offers a character in this myth honey cakes that are used to distract Cerberus. Apuleius’s (-5[1])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])
