In Greek mythology, Eros is the god of love and desire. He is often depicted as a young man with wings, carrying a bow and arrows that induce love or desire in those he targets. Psyche is a mortal woman who is associated with the concept of the soul and is famously part of the myth where she is loved by Eros. Their story is one of love, trials, and eventual reunion. In classical art, Psyche is often shown with butterfly wings, symbolizing the soul's transformation or ascension. The butterfly symbolizes the union of physical and spiritual love, rebirth, metamorphosis, and transcendence, which are core themes in the Psyche-Eros myth.
