"Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold" is a dramatic retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche by C.S. Lewis based on a chapter of The Golden Ass of Apuleius. The first part is written from the perspective of Psyche’s ugly eldest sister Orual, as a long-withheld accusation against the gods. Although the book is set in the fictional kingdom of Glome, Greece is often mentioned. In effect, the story deals with the interplay between the Hellenistic, rationalistic world-view and the powerful, irrational, primitive one.
