Orpheus And Eurydice: In Greek mythology, Orpheus, the son of King Oiagros of Thrace, possessed the gift of singing inherited from his mother, Calliope. Apollo bestowed upon him a lyre, whose divine melodies moved all beings, animate and inanimate alike. Orpheus's heart found solace in the arms of Eurydice, a nymph whose beauty rivaled the divine. However, their bliss was short-lived, for tragedy befell them when Eurydice succumbed to the venomous bite of a viper. Orpheus, consumed by grief, sang a lamentation that stirred the very essence of nature, causing even the stones to weep.
Determined to reclaim his beloved from the realm of the dead, Orpheus ventured into the Underworld, where he charmed its guardians with his celestial melodies. Moved by his music, they granted him permission to lead Eurydice back to the land of the living on one condition—he must not gaze upon her until they reached the surface. Yet, consumed by doubt and longing, Orpheus cast a furtive glance backward, breaking the pact and condemning Eurydice to remain in the realm of shadows.
