This chapter is the proof, to readers and Psyche, that Iaros doesn’t love anyone, he simply loves power. Iaros doesn’t know the girls changed bodies, yet he went to Medeia’s palace and told her that he may have loved her if she had shown her weakness, despite Psyche still being his wife and resting in her own palace. He is cruel and can’t stand having anyone on his level or above, he is a narcissist who thinks he deserves to be at the same level as god.
