Well in Greek Mythology the underworld was one most darkest places with Hades ruling it. But there was multiple ways of finding a loophole in that system. For example bribing the ferryman Charon. The way Orpheus did it was that he sung a lyre (greek musical instrument) and found an underground passage and kept singing the entire way. His singing calmed even the beast Cerberus and the monsters.

How does orpheus lost eurydice the second time summary?
Orpheus went to the Underworld and charmed Persephone (the wife of Hades) with his singing and she persuaded Hades to let Orpheus take Eurydice back to the world of the living. Hades however wasn't so amenable and he place a condition on the deal that 'Orpheus must not look back until he has succeeded in returning the both of them to the light of day.' Well, as Eurydice was only freshly dead the snake bite on her foot was still sore and she lagged behind. As Orpheus was approaching the exit the worry that Eurydice was not behind finally got to him and he turned and looked. At that the demons of hell dragged her back down.

Heracles rescued his wife from the land of the dead...?
No, Heracles never rescues his wife from the land of the dead, except in the Disney movie. The myth you're thinking of is Orpheus and Eurydice, and Orpheus doesn't quite manage to rescue his wife. Orpheus was a great musician whose wife died after being bitten by a snake. He travels to the underworld to rescue her, and Hades, the god of the underworld, is so impressed by his musical talent that he allows Orpheus to lead Eurydice back to the land of the living, with the condition that Orpheus doesn't look back to make sure Eurydice is there. Orpheus manages to almost get out of the underworld, but he begins to doubt that Hades gave him Eurydice at all, so he looks back. Eurydice was following him, but since Orpheus broke the terms of the deal by looking back, Eurydice had to return to the underworld.
