It appears that it was the shepherd Aristaeus who chased Eurydice. She was the wife of Orpheus. Aristaeus chased her because he had fallen in love with her. However she trod on a snake & died. Orpheus descended into Hades after her and his singing so charmed the Gods that they agreed to let Euridice accompany him back to the upper world. However Orpheus had to go through Hades and not look back. He did so trying to check if Eurydice was following him and she vanished from his sight.
