His name was Opheous (Not sure about the spelling, pronounced OR-fe-us). His wife had died, and he was so filled with greif that he traveled down to the underworld, and sang his trouble to Hades and Persephone. They were touched, and granted him his wish, ont he condition that he would not look at his wife's face until they reached the surface world. Needless to say, he looked. <_>
