The Story in The Golden Ass that inspired Till We Have Faces is known as Cupid and Psyche or Eros and Psyche. A variant version of this story evolved into Beauty and the Beast. Of this, the most popular version in modern times is the Disney animated movie. In the latter, ironically, Beauty's sisters, including the equivalent of Orual, have vanished.
