Cupid & Psyche

Known as Eleutherios, the God of Love has spent his life aiding Humankind in the attainment of its innermost desires. So when a father's heartfelt prayer regarding his daughter is answered instead by Eleutherios's mother, Aphrodite, the God of Love is left appalled by her vindictive reaction to the rival beauty. Seeking distraction from disillusionment, Eleutherios loses himself in the Trojan War's decade-long madness.

Blinded by a mysterious childhood fever, Psyche finds her lonely, sheltered life on the Isle of Symi shattered once more when she learns she is to be sacrificed to a monster.

Driven to the stony acropolis for diverse reasons, the pair's chance meeting becomes a means of escape each has long desired. Yet, Hades hath no fury like an immortal scorned, and when Psyche and the man she knows only as Lefteris are discovered by the gods, the price of their desire rips away every certainty each has ever known, leaving both challenged by almost insurmountable obstacles if they are ever to have a second chance.
