Description
Jealousy, love, fear, and betrayal. Everyone admires Psyche for her beauty, but Psyche wants to be loved for herself, not her appearance. Even her own sisters secretly envy Psyche's beauty and good fortune. Only Psyche considers herself unfortunate. When people begin worshiping Psyche as the goddess of love despite her best efforts, Psyche unintentionally rouses the anger of Venus herself. Will Psyche escape Venus' wrath and her sisters' terrible jealousy? Or will she find herself married to her greatest fear, a truly monstrous snake? This novella is written for intermediate Latin III and IV high school students. It contains 8,800 words, and it uses only 350 words. Of those words, some are clear cognates, names, or glossed words that were essential to the story but appeared fewer than ten times. So, a student would need to know 253 unique words to read this text. This edition includes both a glossary of the unique word forms used as well as a traditional dictionary.
