S3E4 - Of Eros and Psyche Pt. 1

Season 12 of Nat Geo Kids Greeking Out on YouTube features original adaptations of Greek myths, beginning with "Eros and Psyche, Part One." The episode introduces Psyche, a princess whose beauty rivals Aphrodite, leading the goddess to task her son Eros (Cupid) with making Psyche fall for a terrible person. However, Eros falls in love with Psyche's inner beauty and disobeys his mother, but keeps his identity as a god secret. Aphrodite prevents anyone from marrying Psyche, and Psyche's parents consult the Oracle of Delphi, who, influenced by Aphrodite, foretells Psyche marrying a monster. Psyche accepts her fate and is escorted by Zephyrus to a magical kingdom where she marries Eros, who insists on remaining unseen. Psyche's sisters, driven by jealousy, convince her that her husband is a monster, leading her to betray his trust by looking at him with a lamp, which causes Eros to flee. Distraught, Psyche decides to search for Eros, setting the stage for the next part of the story.
