The story of Cupid & Psyche comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, a Latin text, though many retellings use the Greek name Eros instead, so either is correct
The only extant version of the Cupid and Psyche narrative is from a Roman source (Apuleius) hence the use of Latin names. But yeah I knew they would have to credit it to him. The characters do appear in Greek art. But didn't he miss out on the daily double because of it?
@@askylibrarianoftheoceans4102 I would hope so. Eros was the original entries and Cupid was just his appropriated Roman version. Sloppy mistake byvthe judges.
So, by ruling a correct response incorrect, they might have given Paul back his $400 plus the $400 for a correct ruling, but then Amanda scored $400 she wouldn't have gotten PLUS was given Paul's turn to select the clue that proved to be the Daily Double, and scored ANOTHER $2000. That entire game was fouled by that one incorrect ruling.
Paul could have selected any clue, so it doesn’t follow that he would have necessarily picked a Daily Double. The odds were 2in 29, including the other Daily Double that was on the board.
@Stephen Kehl The odds were a little bit higher based on patterns of choosing clues. He wasn't doing a high-level Forrest Bounce, he had just answered the $400 clue. That increases the likelihood of him doing exactly what Amanda did: choosing the next clue down the same category.
@@paulbirnbaum It’s a huge leap from saying saying the odds were “a little bit higher” to stating he missed out on scoring an additional $2000 as if that was definitely the way the game would have progressed. I agree an error was made and Paul should be brought back in the interests of how the game may have played out, but not because Paul definitively lost because of the error the way you’ve stated it.

Why was Eros not accepted for Cupid? They are equivalent, not to mention Psyche is Greek, making Eros more correct than Cupid if anything.
They gave him the question right later on in the show and he got the money for it…
Yeah it was a mistake on their part. Eros is correct 100%

That's a good question. 🤔
Before y'all ask about why Eros wasn't given to him: It was later on
What was the explanation?
@@darpinih the judges were like "well, okay, yeah, the actual Greek name is also fine," basically

Got em all. Sucks they didn't give him Eros right away. He would have had control and probably got that Daily Double.

Agree. He needs to be brought back.
Amazing to see such controversy and consequences occurring now, and in this setting, from ancient Greek/Roman myths!

Eros should be correct
I said Eros too.
noob
@@SoyAntonioGaming it was correct.
@@CharlesLumia no, watch the video
@@SoyAntonioGaming yes. Eros is the god of love. Their mistake was corrected on the show.

Beautifully rise and fall of score.
Interesting that mythology only seems to mean Greek/Roman. Has there ever been a Hindu mythology category for instance?
Don't know but would love for there to be questions about Kama, Vishnu, Karna, Rama, and others
On an English Language game show? No way? Next youre gonna tell me they do more bible clues than from the Bhagavad Gita.
@@darkhobo what does it being an English language show have to do with it?
They have had Norse mythology
@@TheSansukesoi4and abrahamic mythology was in the very first episode
Like this, maybe? Actually no I don't haha.
More specifically it was Ajax the Greater
I ran the category.
Sure you did.
i miss mayimn😭😭😭
Is Ajax pronounced Eh-Jacks and not Eye-Acks?
👏👏👏
