Orpheus is a great musician who is going to marry this girl, Eurydice, but she gets bitten by a snake and dies! So he goes to the underworld to get her by playing his music which was irresistible, not even Hades could refuse him. He makes a deal with Hades which is he can have her but when they are leaving he mustn't look back at her until they are out of the Underworld. He agrees and they start venturing back. Once he gets into broad daylight he looks back and she is still in the dark. She said farewell and it was over. He was forbidden to go to the Underworld unless he was actually dead. On his way back to his home to weep, he was playing his lyre, until people ran out and ripped him limb to limb.

Who were the parents of Eurydice?
Eurydice is usually reckoned to be a Dryad (an Oak fairy). Dryads are born with the tree they belong to, and die with it: so they don't have 'parents' in the normal way. Some sources give Eurydice as a daughter of Apollo, but I don't know of anywhere that assigns her a mother. 'Eurydice' may be a title, rather than a proper name (Eurydice means 'wide justice'). Some scholars have suggested that Eurydice may really be Persephone (the Queen of the Dead) under a different name.
