Eurydice died from a snake bite while trying to escape from a Satyr. Orpheus was so distraught, he only played the most heart-wrenching music. At the behest of.. well... everyone, he traveled to the underworld to ask Hades for her back. Hades was a jealous guardian of his subjects, but Orpheus's music softened his black heart. He was allowed to take Eurydice back on one condition; that he must travel with her all the way back to the surface without looking upon her face.
They were very near one of the entrances to the Underworld when Orpheus, unable to contain himself, looked back over his shoulder just in time to see Eurydice disappear back to Elyseum.
After this Orpheus only played melancholy music. One day, he was stumbled upon by some Ciconian women (sometimes called Baccanites) who attempted to rape him. He shoved off their advances and when they tried to stone him, the stones refused to hit him because he played such stirring music. Eventually, they tore him to pieces. His Lyre was placed in the sky as the constellation Lyra.
