Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus, a wonderful musician. She was killed by a bite from a snake. Orpheus loved her so that he went to Tartarus to get her back. He made it there and Queen Persephone loved his music so much, that she talked her husband, Hades, into letting Orpheus have Eurydice back. Hades consented but told Orpheus if he looked back on his way home, Eurydice would be lost forever. He made it almost all of the way back to his house, but heard something behind him, and turned. Eurydice merly faded away, like a ghost.
