Jason Grace: If the others found out, you’d have that many more people to back you up, and to unleash the fury of the gods on anybody who gives you trouble. But it’s your call. Your decision to share or not.”

There are many ways to analyze Psyche and Cupid's myth but I think that people who see it as a myth where Eros/Cupid is finally being freed from Aphrodite/Venus' tyrannical rule is just wrong

[sapocipo]

So she [Venus] speaks these words to winged Cupid: 'My son, you who alone are my great strength, my power, a son who scorns mighty Jupiter's Typhoean thunderbolts, I ask your help, and humbly call on your divine will. It's known to you how Aeneas, your brother, is driven over the sea, round all the shores, by bitter Juno's hatred, and you have often grieved with my grief.

-Virgil Aeneid

Eros wanted to know all about it; for all young people, when they hear only the beginning of a story, are eager to hear the end. So he rattled out with that unbridled tongue of his--‘Who has hurt my dear Paphia? Let me take arms in hand and fight all the world! If my mother is in distress, let me stretch my allvanquishing bowstring against even Kronion [Zeus] ...'

-Nonnus Dionysiaca

They are very special to me okay

If there is anything unhealthy about Aphrodite and Eros dynamic it is because they are both mutually codependent and not because Aphrodite is an overbearing and controlling mother btw
