Wait, What?

If the "Cupid and Psyche" myth is allegory for the soul gaining knowledge through love, then what does the birth of Cupid and Psyche's daughter Voluptuas (Pleasure) represent? Maybe it was allegory for how the union of the soul, love, and knowledge is a source of unending pleasure?
Anyway, thank you all for a great semester!
