Amor is the son of Venus. Amor loves Psyche - under the displeasure of Venus (Amor disappears from Psyche). Venus forces Psyche to solve some dangerous tasks.
Psyche uses a forbidden cream and falls into a fatal sleep. This is the moment, when Amor comes back and saves her live by kissing her - aaahhh, what a romantic tale.

By the way: Amor and Psyche become a couple again and get a daughter, called "Voluptas" (Wollust in german, sensuality in english)

...und manchesmal ein Lächeln, hergewendet,
ein seliges, das blendet und verschwendet
an dieses atemlose blinde Spiel.
