What is the classic love story of the ancient Greek god in charge of love?

The ancient Greek god in charge of love was Cupid.

In ancient Roman mythology, there is an interesting story about Cupid and his mortal bride Psyche. Venus was jealous of Psyche's beauty and ordered Cupid to punish her. However, Cupid really fell in love with Psyche and married her. But as a mortal, psyche can't look at Cupid's face.

Psyche lived happily until her sister persuaded her to see Cupid's face. When Psyche saw Cupid's face, Cupid left her punitively. Their beautiful castle and garden disappeared together. Since then, psyche has been alone in the wilderness, with no other signs of life or Cupid around. When psyche looked for Cupid everywhere, she came to the temple of Venus. Venus tried to kill her, so she was given a series of tasks, one of which was more dangerous and difficult than the other.

Finally, on her last mission, Venus gave Psyche a small box and asked her to take it to the ground. She was told to give beauty to Queen Laurel Pi Na, so she put it in this box. Along the way, she got all kinds of tips and avoided all kinds of dangers in the underworld. She was also warned not to open the box. But the temptation overcame psyche, and she finally opened the box. But she didn't find beauty, just died and slept.

Cupid found the dead psyche on the ground. He recalled the Sleep of Death from Psyche and put it back in the box. Cupid forgave psyche, and Venus forgave her. The gods were moved by psyche's love for Cupid, so they made her a goddess.

Nowadays, Cupid and his arrow are the most famous symbols of love. Love is usually depicted as two hearts pierced by Cupid's arrow.

Extended data:

Cupid has a golden bow, a golden arrow and a lead arrow. If shot by his golden arrow, it will make people yearn for love and promote love to marriage. Even enemies will make a good couple, and love must be sweet and happy. On the contrary, if you are shot by his lead arrow, people will refuse love, and those who love each other will also have hatred and end up breaking up. Even a good couple will become enemies, and love will become a mixture of pain and jealousy.

It is said that Cupid shoots an arrow blindfolded, so people say that love is blind. Little love god's arrow can't resist God and man. He once shot Apollo with a golden arrow and Daphne, the fairy of Mizusawa, with a lead arrow. As a result, Apollo was lovelorn and many love stories were caused by him. Cupid's golden arrow once became a little Cupid named Lv Bo, the patron saint of Orpheus and Eurydice.
