Cupid and Psyche

In gratitude to the Most Beautiful, whose giggling melts heaven and earth, on this Her day, I offer up another transcription from Thomas Taylor's translation of Apuleius: the story of Her son's marriage to Psyche, as it appears in Books IV through VI of The Metamorphosis, or The Golden Ass. Also included are Taylor's footnotes, particularly his lengthy interpretation of the myth.

You can find the PDF in US Letter and A4 paper sizes.

As always, these transcriptions are in the public domain: all I ask is that, if you find any typos or mistakes, that you please let me know about them so that I might correct them!
