Odysseus traveled to the underworld so that he could talk to Thiresias who had been dead for several years. Thiresias was a great fore teller and could tell Odysseus how to get back to Ithaca.
When his love died he could not bear to live without her so he traveled to the underworld to get her back?
That was only from the movie. I believe you are talking about Hercules. Hercules killed his first wife and the second accidentally poisoned him and he died.
What was the story of Orpheus and Eurydice?
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.
