"Coxie: A Tale of Love, Betrayal, and Divine Intervention" In the enchanting world of "The Fable of Psyche, " Coxie takes us on a journey through captivating plates that depict the trials and triumphs of the protagonist. Plate 3 introduces us to Psyches' two sisters, who have found themselves married to kings. Their regal unions stand in stark contrast to Psyche's own tumultuous path. Seeking guidance from the gods, Psyches' father consults the oracle in Plate 4. His desperate plea for answers sets into motion a series of events that will shape his daughter's destiny forever. Plate 5 transports us as we witness Psyche being carried on a litter towards an enigmatic mountain. The significance of this moment remains shrouded in mystery, leaving our curiosity piqued. Nymphs come to Psyche's aid in Plate 10 as they assist her in dressing her hair. Their delicate touch symbolizes not only physical beauty but also spiritual transformation - an essential aspect of her journey. Ecce Homo captures a powerful scene where divine intervention becomes evident. This oil painting portrays a pivotal moment when higher forces intervene and alter the course of events surrounding our beloved heroine. In Plate 30, Venus and Cupid plead their case before Jupiter and other gods. The presence of these mighty deities signifies that even celestial beings are invested in Psyche's fate. Betrayal strikes hard when Psyches' sisters convince her that she shares her bed with a serpent (Plate 12). Deception weaves its web around our protagonist, testing both her resilience and trust. Apuleius transformed into a donkey listens intently to an old woman recounting this enthralling tale (Plate 1). As he absorbs every word spoken by his storyteller, we too become captivated by Coxie's narrative prowess.
