The Love Story of Orpheus and Eurydice

Orpheus, the son of the muse Calliope, was a gifted musician and poet whose music could charm all living things and even the stones of the earth. His lyre, given to him by the god Apollo, produced melodies so beautiful that rivers stopped flowing, animals gathered to listen, and the world itself seemed to pause when he played.

Orpheus fell deeply in love with Eurydice, a woman of great beauty and grace. Their love was pure and intense, and soon they were married. On their wedding day, however, fate struck a cruel blow. While Eurydice wandered through a meadow, she was bitten by a venomous snake. The poison took her life almost instantly, and she was taken to the underworld, leaving Orpheus in unimaginable grief.

Unable to accept her death, Orpheus decided to do the impossible: descend into the underworld to bring her back. Armed only with his lyre and his unshakable love, Orpheus made his way through the dark and treacherous path to the land of the dead.

When he arrived, he played his lyre and sang of his love and sorrow. His music was so heart-wrenching that the souls of the dead wept, and the great rulers of the underworld, Hades and Persephone, were moved to compassion. Hades, known for his stern and unyielding nature, granted Orpheus’ request—but on one condition:

"You may lead Eurydice back to the surface, but you must not look back at her until you both have reached the world of the living. If you turn to gaze upon her too soon, she will be lost to you forever."

Orpheus agreed and began the long, perilous journey back to the world above. Eurydice followed silently behind him, her footsteps faint, like whispers on stone. As they ascended, the light of the surface grew brighter, but Orpheus could not hear her, and doubt began to creep into his heart. Was she truly behind him? Had the gods tricked him?

At the very last moment, just steps away from the world of the living, Orpheus’ resolve broke. Overcome with fear and longing, he turned to look back at Eurydice. In that instant, her figure began to fade. Her eyes met his with a mixture of love and sorrow as she was pulled back into the underworld.

Orpheus cried out in despair, but there was nothing he could do. He tried to return to the underworld, but the gates were closed to him forever.

Heartbroken, Orpheus wandered the earth, playing his lyre and singing songs of loss and love. His music, once full of beauty and joy, became filled with melancholy, and the world mourned with him. He rejected the company of others, consumed by his grief.

In some versions of the myth, Orpheus was eventually killed by the Maenads, followers of Dionysus, who were angered by his refusal to embrace life and joy. Other tales say he was simply taken by the gods, who pitied him and reunited him with Eurydice in death.

Thus, Orpheus and Eurydice’s love story became a timeless tale of devotion, loss, and the fragile line between life and death. It reminds us of the power of love and the tragic consequences of doubt and impatience.

What about you? Do you like girls? Boys? I... I think that I like TV shows.

YELLOWJACKETS S3E1 // S3E10

watching the scene where maddy draws the symbol on the back of owen’s neck was like. oh. Oh. this is Such an intimate experience and even though, physically, we are watching a boy and a girl exist on screen, it is SO MUCH a representation of a young queer person’s first experiences of intimacy with the same gender that it almost physically hurts. i felt like i was intruding. how much she touches him, pushes his head forward, the slow drawing of the pen, fingers drawing softly over her shoulders afterward. it was so tender.

when i first saw the scene with maddie drawing the sigil on owen’s neck, i was like “why does this seem like it was shot in a romantic way? maddie made it very clear she liked girls.” and then i realized. she does like girls.
