a) Will Aching Beauty trigger on a successful block before I play Psychomachia?
b) If yes, is it compulsory to trigger Aching Beauty before playing Psychomachia, or can I play Psychomachia to somehow prevent the Methuselah from losing pool?
c) If it does not trigger before playing Psychomachia, will it still trigger after playing Psychomachia?
Aching Beauty
[Jyhad:U, VTES:U, CE:U, KoT:U]
Cardtype: Master
Clan: Toreador

Master.
Put this card on a Toreador. If this Toreador is blocked, the controller of the blocking minion burns 1 pool (before combat occurs, if any).
Psychomachia
[BL:C2, KMW:PB3]
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Cost: 1 blood

TBC by Floppy, but passive effects (here: Aching Beauty) kick in first.

These two are under review for RTR.
Currently: b - use sequencing to determine which of Psychomachia or Aching Beauty kicks in first; and c - yes.
