Orpheus and Eurydice

Orpheus, gifted musician, follows his dead love to the underworld and begs Hades for her return to life. Inspired by his music, Hades agrees to release Eurydice on the condition that Orpheus refuse to look behind as she follows him back to light. In a moment of doubt, Orpheus looks back and loses his wife once again. Animated by Elena Megalos, 2009.

@belletrivia Yeah and in other stories, he was stoned & ripped apart (literally) by the women he rejected after they found out he didn't get his wife back. They were turned into large oak trees as a punishment and when he died his soul finally reunited with Eurydice's. Such a beautiful story.

At the end he's torn apart by grief and sadness, but in real life Orpheus was cut to pieces by the members of his own cult.

[@majortomato3974]

Mowgli ManCubs "his own cult" I read it was the maenads, raving followers of Dionysus. bump
