In this video:
Orpheus was a legendary musician, whose music could charm beasts, coax trees to dance, and even divert the course of rivers. He was deeply in love with a beautiful nymph named Eurydice. They were happily married, but their joy was short-lived.
Eurydice was pursued by a satyr on their wedding day and in her flight, she stepped on a venomous snake and died. Devastated by her death, Orpheus played such mournful songs that all the gods and nymphs wept. Moved by his sorrow, they advised him to descend to the Underworld and plead with Hades, the god of the dead, to return Eurydice.
Armed with his lyre, Orpheus journeyed into the Underworld, where his music softened the hearts of Hades and his wife, Persephone. Hades agreed to release Eurydice on one condition: Orpheus must walk in front of her and not look back until they both had reached the upper world.
Orpheus agreed and set off with Eurydice following him. However, in his anxiety, he turned to look at her just as they were about to reach the exit, and Eurydice was immediately pulled back into the Underworld, this time forever.
