Final answer:

Psyche's parents consulted an oracle when they realized they couldn't marry her off.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Psyche’s parents realized that they would be unable to marry her off, they Consulted an oracle. The oracle advised them to abandon Psyche on a mountaintop, where she would be taken by a monster. However, the wind god, Zephyrus, fell in love with Psyche and carried her away to a hidden palace. Ultimately, Psyche was able to marry the god Eros (Cupid) in secret, with the help of various gods.
