Monstrous - Chapters 39 & 40
Aphrodite's impossible tasks are direct from Ovid. Except in his telling, Psyche is a lot more passive and doesn't really figure any of them out herself. Instead, the animals/objects around her do the tasks for her. In the version I read, the ants see Psyche's conundrum, recognize her as Cupid/Eros's wife, and help out while she contemplates suicide. Obviously, we'll be changing some things.

I’m so excited to see how Psyche figures out the rest 😭
