[…] The only adventure recorded of this god is his amour with the Ocean-nymph Philyra : dreading the jealousy of his wife Rhea, he changed her into a mare, and himself into a horse. […] At length they approached a humble cottage where dwelt an aged man, named Philemôn, with Baucis his wife, of equal years : by them the wayfarers were gladly received. […] Meantime Psyche, though adored by all, was sought as a wife by none. […] At night she retires to bed ; an unseen youth addresses her in the softest accents, and she becomes his wife.
