He didn't curse her. She died from the bite of a venomous snake, gotten while fleeing the unwanted attention of a Satyr. Her husband, Orpheus, sang such moving melodies of his love for her, that the gods themsevles wept, bidding the man to go into the underworld to retrieve his lost love. Now, once in Hades, Orpheus begged for his lovers life from Hades and Persephone, and upon hearing his sad music, they relented. Of course, the rules of death were hard to overcome, and Hades was not one to release his charges without condition. He said that Orpheus was allowed to take Eurydice out of Hades, but he had to travel in front of her, and he wasn't allowed to look back at her until they had completely exited the realm. Happily, he set about his task, leading his wife out of the dark realm. Just as they were in view of daylight, and the exit, Orpheus could no longer resist the urge to see his love's face. Just as he turned, he caught just a glimpse of her vanishing; just as Hades promised she would be if he didn't honor their bargain.
