Orpheus was the son of Apollo and he was a very gifted musician whose music could charm mortals, animals and the trees. Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus, the two of them showed how much they love each other, that even death is can never separate the two.
One day Eurydice was wandering with the nymphs. A shepherd named Aristaeus attempted to make advance towards Eurydice. Because of fear Eurydice ran off. While running she was bitten by a snake and died.
Being so grief stricken Orpheus played his sorrows in his music which was heard by gods and men.Orpheus then came up with an idea and went to the underworld. He played music that made Hades, king of the underworld, decide to give Eurydice back to Orpheus. But in one certain condition. And that is to never look back to Eurydice unless they are already out of the underworld.
