Myth about Orpheus and Eurydice

Explanation:

The myth about Orpheus is a story of a singer and poet, who was the son of Calliope, one of the Muses. His playing on his lyre was so magnificent so that whole nature would stop to hear him and enjoy his music. His love story is not a happy story.

His wife, nymph Eurydice, died of a snake's bite. Orpheus'  grief made him go to the underworld to bring her back.  The sound of his lyre seemed to amaze the inhabitant of the underworld: Cerberus became a cute little dog, Charon stopped his boat, Sisyphus sat on his stone, Tantalum did not feel hungry or thirsty for a short while. His sad song touched even the coldest heart of Hades and Persephone.

They allowed him to bring Eurydice' s soul to the light of the day and revise her, but on condition that he never turn after her before they go out.Even he had a chance to win her back, he loses it because he turned over to see is this a Eurydice.

The character of Orpheus is a symbol of loss and tragic love. Many artists use this myth or inspired by this myth in their works. French composer Jacques Offenbach wrote an operetta  "Orpheus in the underground".
