Psyche

            The immortal human Psyche was trusting. For example, she trusted the oracle that told her to go onto the mountain even though she might have been eaten by a monster. When her father, the king, asked the oracle who she should marry, it said no mortal was worthy of her beauty. When Psyche got to the castle, everyone was invisible, but she still didnÕt run away. Even when her husband, Eros, was invisible, she believed him when he said they werenÕt monsters. She even trusted her jealous sister when they told her he was probably just waiting to eat her. This shows that she even listened to her ridiculous two sisters. These are three examples why Psyche is portrayed as having faith in others.
