Eurydice is the wife of Orpheus. when Eurydice died, Orpheus went to the underworld to save her and bring her back home. Hades and his wife, Persephone, let him take Eurydice, but on one condition. Once they give her to him he must walk in front of her and must not look back at all to look at her until they leave the underworld or Eurydice will return immediately to the underworld forever, and Orpheus will fall to pieces. "Don't look back." Eurydice told him. But Orpheus turned around just to check if she was still there. Then Eurydice shed a tear and immediately returned to the underworld. "Goodbye forever" she says. Depressed, Orpheus walked away, shed a tear and fell to pieces.
