Persephone had a bit of a soft spot for lovers and all that, so she kind of persuaded Hades to let Eurydice go. She was young and Persephone had been young when Hades kidnapped her. Hades had to have a stipulation though, and Orpheus broke it, so it was all for nothing really.

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.

How was orpheus determined to get eurydice back?
He vowed to get her back and in so doing, went down to the underworld. He was an excellent lyre player and was worthy of the muses. Supposedly his playing could make rocks cry (from joy, not pain!) He played his lyre for Hades and Hades was moved enough to agree to let Orpheus take his beloved Eurydice back above ground-with one little catch. Orpheus could not look back as he exited the Underworld to look at Eurydice or else she would remain forever in the Underworld. Joyfully, he led Eurydice to the entrance of the Underworld, but right before he came above ground, he looked back at Eurydice. She was forced to remain in the Underworld and Orpheus later died. (I know it had to do something with female wood-somethings attacking him, but I don't remember...)

Heracles rescued his wife from the land of the dead...?
No, Heracles never rescues his wife from the land of the dead, except in the Disney movie. The myth you're thinking of is Orpheus and Eurydice, and Orpheus doesn't quite manage to rescue his wife. Orpheus was a great musician whose wife died after being bitten by a snake. He travels to the underworld to rescue her, and Hades, the god of the underworld, is so impressed by his musical talent that he allows Orpheus to lead Eurydice back to the land of the living, with the condition that Orpheus doesn't look back to make sure Eurydice is there. Orpheus manages to almost get out of the underworld, but he begins to doubt that Hades gave him Eurydice at all, so he looks back. Eurydice was following him, but since Orpheus broke the terms of the deal by looking back, Eurydice had to return to the underworld.
