=== エロースとプシュケー ===
エロースとプシュケーの物語は、アプレイウスのラテン語の小説『黄金の驢馬』で文学化される以前から、古代ギリシャ・ローマ世界の民話として長い伝統があった。
The story of [[Cupid and Psyche|Eros and Psyche]] has a longstanding tradition as a folktale of the ancient Greco-Roman world long before it was committed to literature in [[Apuleius]]' [[Latin]] novel, ''[[The Golden Ass]]''. The novel itself is written in a picaresque Roman style, yet Psyche retains her Greek name even though Eros and Aphrodite are called by their Latin names (Cupid and Venus). Also, Cupid is depicted as a young adult, rather than a fat winged child (''{{lang|it|[[putti|putto amorino]]}}'').<ref>{{cite book |author=[[Apuleius]] |section=[[Cupid and Psyche]] |title=[[The Golden Ass]] |publisher=Penguin Classics}}</ref>
