Psyche with Cerberus on her quest to the Underworld 1899
Psyche is the Greek goddess of the soul and often represented with butterfly wings.
The fourth step is the first time that Psyche will end up accomplishing the task herself. As her very last task, Aphrodite commands that Psyche must go into the underworld, fill an empty box with beauty ointment from Persephone, the goddess of the underworld, and return it to her.
Psyche enters the underworld, gives the three-headed dog one cake, fills the box with beauty, gives the three-headed dog another cake, comes back across the river (because she has one more coin) and returns to the upper world.
In Greek mythology, Cerberus often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Psyche with Cerberus on her quest to the Underworld" in 1899. Psyche, the Greek goddess of the soul, is often depicted with delicate butterfly wings symbolizing transformation and beauty. In this particular scene, Psyche embarks on a crucial task assigned by Aphrodite herself. As part of her final challenge, Psyche must venture into the underworld and collect beauty ointment from Persephone, the goddess ruling over that realm. With determination in her eyes, she enters fearlessly and encounters Cerberus - the formidable three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades. Offering him cakes as a bribe for safe passage, Psyche successfully fills an empty box with beauty essence before making her way back to the upper world. Cerberus plays a significant role in Greek mythology as he prevents departed souls from escaping their eternal abode. However, in this extraordinary moment captured by Jenny Eakin Delony Rice (also known as Jenny Meyrowitz), we witness a unique interaction between Cerberus and Psyche during her perilous journey. This original edition print sourced from Ilustracion Artistica 1899 holds historical significance within my personal archives. It beautifully combines elements of mythological storytelling with artistic mastery by Paul-Alfred Parent de Curzon – a renowned French painter celebrated for his genre scenes and landscapes featuring figures.
