Psyche: Greek Goddess of the Soul and Mythology

Orin Vale

Psyche is a central figure in Greek mythology and a lasting symbol of the soul, whose story of love, loss, and transformation has shaped Western literature, philosophy, and art. From her origin as the “breath of life” to her union with Eros and eventual immortality, the myth of Psyche reveals why her name remains important in both ancient tradition and modern thought.
