In this scene (1518), Raphael depicts Cupid pleading with Jupiter to grant Psyche immortality and approve their union. Jupiter, seated with his eagle, listens thoughtfully. Beside him are Juno (with peacock), Diana (with crescent moon), and Minerva (in armor). Venus stands bare-breasted beside her son, while Neptune (with trident) and Pluto (with bident and dog Cerberus) and Mars (in armor) observe from behind.
