The ancient Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is a beautiful but tragic
story. It begins with Orpheus, the best musician that ever lived.
One strum of his lyre, one note sung, and beasts would crawl to
him, rocks would shift their moss to move to be closer, trees would
tear their roots to be closer to him. He had more power than a
mortal man ought to for he was the son of the Muse Calliope.
Orpheus lived his life simply and carelessly until the day he met
Eurydice. She was a Dryad, and when they fell in love it meant
everything to them. But the rustic god Aristaeus saw Eurydice's
beauty and desired it, and did not care that she was unwilling and
in love with another. She ran from him in terror, without thought
to her step, and so it was she stepped on a poisonous snake in her
flight. The venom of its bite killed her at once and her spirit
went to the Underworld..
