lawreen-blog:mythology meme  ─  [1/10] books based on mythologyTill We Have Faces: A Myth Retold is a 1956 novel by C. S. Lewis. It is a retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche, which had haunted Lewis all his life, and which is itself based on a chapter of The Golden Ass of Apuleius. The first part of the book is written from the perspective of Psyche’s older sister Orual, as an accusation against the gods. The book is set in the fictional kingdom of Glome. The people of the primitive city-state of Glome have occasional contact with civilized Hellenistic Greece. This was his last novel; he considered it his most mature, written in conjunction with his wife, Joy Davidman. -- source link
