Abstract
Description
These two paintings hung above Coetzee's bed and depict Eros and Psyche respectively. Eros, the Greek god of love,
sexual intercourse, cupids, desire and pleasure was married to Psyche - a human girl he fell in love with by
accidentally scratching himself with his arrow which she then touched, sealing their connection and love for one
another.
