Summary of Orpheus and Eurydice

       Orpheus played the lyre so sweetly that he was almost as good as the gods he was by far the best mortal. He met a beautiful lady named Eurydice and they were married however soon after the wedding she was killed. He traveled down to the underworld to get her back Hades agreed to let her go if he promised not to look back. They were almost out when he looked back and she was lost to him forever. He went out on his own with only his lyre away from any people. He was killed when he didn't show Dionysus proper respect he was torn limb from limb.
