Great observations! I hadn’t noticed these but I did note in the pilot that we saw Regina’s living room contains a reproduction of the famous Antonio Canova sculpture of Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss. In Roman literature, Psyche was “the fairest of them all” and when Cupid fell in love with her, Venus tried repeatedly to keep them apart. Eventually, Venus caused Psyche to fall into a deep sleep until Cupid awakened her with a kiss, as depicted in the sculpture. A pretty good fit to the Snow White story!
While typing the above paragraph, I just had a funny thought. The story of Cupid and Psyche would be a perfect fit to the Snow White story if it weren’t for the fact that Cupid is the son of Venus. Does this mean history will repeat itself in a few years if Henry grows up to fall in love with a woman who does not meet Regina’s approval? Imagine having the Evil Queen for a mother-in-law!
