"Les Amours de Psyché et de Cupidon" (The Loves of Psyche and Cupid) is a narrative poem by the French poet Jean de La Fontaine, first published in 1669. This literary work is an adaptation of the classical tale of Psyche, a mortal woman, and Cupid, the god of love, which was originally detailed in "The Golden Ass," a Latin novel written by Apuleius in the 2nd century AD. La Fontaine's rendition is a significant contribution to the French literary canon, showcasing his mastery of verse and his ability to infuse ancient stories with contemporary relevance.

The poem is composed in twelve cantos and is written in elegant, rhymed couplets, a style that La Fontaine was known to excel in. It weaves a complex narrative that explores themes of love, beauty, and the trials that lovers often face. The story follows the beautiful Psyche, who incurs the jealousy of Venus, the goddess of love, and is subjected to various ordeals. Cupid, Venus's son, falls in love with Psyche but is initially invisible to her. The narrative delves into the psychological and emotional journey of the characters, as well as the eventual reconciliation and the divine union between Psyche and Cupid.

"Les Amours de Psyché et de Cupidon" stands out for its exploration of the human condition through the lens of mythology. La Fontaine's poetic language and insightful commentary on the nature of love and the divine have made this work a timeless classic. It also reflects the author's engagement with the intellectual and artistic currents of the 17th-century French salons, where mythological subjects were often used to discuss contemporary issues.

Jean de La Fontaine is best known for his "Fables," a collection of moralistic tales, but "Les Amours de Psyché et de Cupidon" represents a more ambitious and elaborate narrative undertaking. The poem has been praised for its vivid characterizations, its rich imagery, and its blend of wit and wisdom. It remains an important example of French Baroque literature and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its influence on the development of French literary tradition.
