BROEL-09-Eros and Psyche

Thinking that I was drawing the story of Eros and Psyche,
I mistakenly drew three Greek myths into one.

In the myth of Eros and Psyche, love triumphs over challenges, leading to her immortality and their eternal union.

In the Myth of "the origins of soulmates" humans were originally two-headed,
four-armed, and four-legged beings. To humble them, the gods split them
into separate male and female halves, sending them on a lifelong quest to find their other half, the one that completes them and makes them whole.

In Ovid's "Metamorphoses," Hermaphroditus was seen by the water nymph Salmacis while bathing in her pool. She fell in love with him and prayed to the gods
that they would never be separated. Her wish granted, the two merged into one,
becoming a being with both male and female features.

In my drawing, the female image reaches for the moon while the male reaches for the Sun,a symbol of cosmic unity and harmony. As they are drawn as one single being I could have called this drawing "the Solunarian". But I think that the title "Eros and Psyche" better reflects the spirit of all three myths.
