The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is that Orpheus had a girlfriend named Eurydice. On their wedding day, Eurydice stepped on a snake and died, leaving Orpheus very depressed. Orpheus decided to go down to the Underworld and bring back Eurydice's spirit. Once down there, he played his lyre so beautifully that Hades and Persephone were so moved that they let him bring her ghost back on one condition: to never turn back at the ghost. However, as they were leaving the Underworld, Orpheus looked back to see if Eurydice had made it out as well, but she was still in the Underworld as this was happening, so she was lost this time, forever.
Orpheus was about to marry Eurydice but a poisinous snake bit her which sent her to the Underworld. Orpheus went down to the Underworld to free Eurydice. He got down to the Underworld with his charming music. When he told Hades what he wanted Hades agreed to return her he was told that he was not to look back at her until he returned out of the Underworld. Orpheus was almost out but he looked behind him to make sure Hades kept his promise and to make sure Eurydice was behind him but when he did Eurydice was returned to the Underworld and Orpheus died of a broken heart.
