Eurydice his wife.
Orpheus went to Hades, the Greek Underworld, to bring back his wife Eurydice.
I think Hades was fair, as he allowed Orpheus to bring Eurydice back to the land of the living. Personally, I don't think Hades does that for every person he meets. It was Orpheus's fault for turning back.
Orpheus
Orpheus turned to look back upon Eurydice to be sure Hades had kept his word (when Hades had told him not to do so).
The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is that Orpheus had a girlfriend named Eurydice. On their wedding day, Eurydice stepped on a snake and died, leaving Orpheus very depressed. Orpheus decided to go down to the Underworld and bring back Eurydice's spirit. Once down there, he played his lyre so beautifully that Hades and Persephone were so moved that they let him bring her ghost back on one condition: to never turn back at the ghost. However, as they were leaving the Underworld, Orpheus looked back to see if Eurydice had made it out as well, but she was still in the Underworld as this was happening, so she was lost this time, forever.
Orpheus, and it was the lyre.
In the story of Orpheus, the main conflict arises when Orpheus's wife, Eurydice, dies and Orpheus travels to the Underworld to try and bring her back to the land of the living. The conflict intensifies as Orpheus must convince Hades to allow Eurydice to return with him while following the condition not to look back at her until they have both reached the surface. Ultimately, Orpheus fails to resist the temptation and loses Eurydice forever.
No. Even Orpheus failed, according to legend. Orpheus only failed because he looked back when hades told him not to. i have found a way. if you use this formula, you can do it to. 3 times e=mc2+pound+brain+heart
Orpheus played his music for Hades and convinced him to release his wife Eurydice. Only on the condition that Orpheus did not look back even once as he left the underworld to insure his wife was following him. Orpheus did not follow Hades' instructions and looked back, he saw Eurydice there, but lost her again because he broke their agreement.
Orpheus lost her twice, firstly when she died after being bitten by a snake and secondly when he was leading her from the underworld - Hades had agreed that Orpheus could have Eurydice back but only if he walked out of the underworld with her following behind without looking back. But Eurydice tripped and cried out just as they were nearly there, Orpheus turned around, only to see her being dragged back to Hades.
