Answer 1

The story of Orpheus is Orpheus was a musician who was getting married. He got married, than his wife stepped out to get some fresh air, and got bitten by a snake. His wife died, and went to the Underworld. Orpheus found his wife and went to the Underworld. He got down there using Charon's ferry and went to the king of the Underworld himself, Hades. Orpheus went up to Hades and demanded his wife back. When Hades refused, Orpheus persuaded Hades with the power of music. Hades cursed his wife and said "You can have her, but you can not see her until you leave the Underworld." Orpheus agreed to the deal and turned around. He wanted to turn around and see his wife, but knew he couldn't. He got on Charon's ferry and fought the urge to turn around. At last, he couldn't stand it. They were one second away from being out of the Underworld, and Orpheus turned around. He saw his wife smiling at him for a second, but then she faded away. Orpheus was upset for the rest of his life and all his music was sad, but then one day he died and was reunited with his wife. They were the happiest couple in the Underworld ever. The end.
