The marriage of Orpheus, the greatest of all poets and musicians, to Eurydice, a wood nymph, was heralded as the perfect union. Anyone could tell the couple was deeply in love. So when their wedding ceremony ended in Eurydice's untimely death, Orpheus had no choice but to venture into the underworld to try to reclaim his lost love. Brendan Pelsue shares the tragic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Lesson by Brendan Pelsue, animation by Anton Bogaty.

I always like the version where Orpheus doesn’t turn around because of doubt, but because he takes one step out into the world and turns around too quickly to greet her in his joy. Just the heart-wrench of what face he must’ve made as she got sent back to the underworld OOO

@@nathan8750 idk, it feels less like the fault of man as insecure and fearful and more like the fault of man as hopeful and naive... if you’re gonna be a Greek tragedy, might as well have bad things happen to hopeful people to really go full ham, right? I also like the lesson more of being precautious than of blinding trust/confidence. Either way, there’s no winning though ig...

Fun Fact: A different version of the myth says that when he lost Eurydice the second time, Orpheus completely avoided women and focused on playing his music even more. He was so good that the men warriors of the territory would leave their weapons and listen to his music, enchanted. But their wives grew jealous cause they felt like he was depriving them of their husbands and decided to run up and kill him. They actually attacked and cut him in pieces and threw the parts of his body in the river Evros. But somehow his head magically stayed alive and he continued singing for ever. I'm actually taking an exam in archeology and this is one of the stories that is depicted on an attic pottery piece that I'm studying and I got too excited so I decided to share😌

@raqueljardim5966 3 года назад
I've read a version in which Eurydice did not 'suddenly' fall by the bite of a snake, but rather while running from a man in the woods that wanted to ask her for directions. She was terrified of Orpheus' jealousy towards other men (probably rooted in insecurity) and ran desperately, stepping on a snake and getting bitten. Orpheus's mistake when turning his head to see her was supposed to be a parallel with her death, showing that his insecurity had (once more) made him lose his wife.

According to Virgil and many others, that man (Aristaeus) was actually trying to assault her, and while she was running away she didn't see a snake in the grass and it bit her. Also many others think that Orpheus actually turned to look at her on purpose, so he could have something more to sing about. Of course, I prefer the more romantic ones haha
@No-soy-un-bizcocho
@No-soy-un-bizcocho 4 месяца назад
There is also another version where it is said that Eurydice, when she danced happily at her wedding, accidentally stepped on the snake and that is why it bit her and that Orpheus failed to not look back because the evidence said that he could only look back when they were already outside the house. underworld so he only looked back when both were already out of the underworld but unfortunately one of Eurydice's feet was still in the underworld so they failed the test. Therefore, many believed that this was an opportunity for Orpheus to find the love of his life since it was believed that Orpheus failed the test because he did not really love Eurydice, but Orpheus proved that he did love her when the group of women called Maenads murdered him because This rejection, his love, Orpheus did not defend himself (even though he was very strong, having been an Argonaut, if he defended himself he would surely win) and he let himself die to be reunited with Eurydice.

In the version of this story that my mother always told me, Orpheus resists temptation to look back all the way up to the world of the living. However, upon stepping out into the light, he turns around to see Eurydice, only to realise that SHE has NOT finished the climb yet, having been a few steps behind him. So she is thrown back to Hades. A small difference, but I've always preferred it because it strengthens the tragedy of the story, and that even though Orpheus did all as he had been instructed, there was no possibility for bringing the dead back.

They missed a very important detail about why Hades did it actually. When Orpheus comes into the palace, Hades cried “No more cheap minstrel tricks. I am a god. My rages are not to be assuaged, nor my decrees nullified. No one comes to Tartarus without being sent for. No one has before, and no one will again, when the tale is told of the torments I intend to put you to.” We all know he loved Persephone very much, and in the original myths, Orpheus actually “sang a song that conjured up a green field and a grove of trees and a slender girl painting flowers and all the light about her head, with the special clearness there was when the world had just begun. He sang of how that girl made a sight so pleasing as she played with the flowers that the birds overhead gossiped of it, and the miles underground- until the word reached even gloomy Tartarus, where a dark king heard and went up to see for himself. Orpheus sang of that king seeing the girl for the first time in a great wash of early sunlight, and what he felt when he saw that stalk-slender child in her tunic and green shoes moving with her paint pit among the flowers; the fever that ran in his blood when first he put his mighty arm about her waist, and drank her screams with his dark lips and tasted her tears; of the grief that had come upon him when he almost lost her again to her mother by Zeus’s decree; and of the joy that filled him when he learned that she had eaten of the pomegranate. Persephone was sitting at Hades’ side. She began to cry. She leaned forward and whispered to him swiftly. The king turned to Orpheus. Hades did not weep, but no one had ever seen his eyes so brilliant.” He doesn’t listen to Orpheus’s request because Orpheus asked him, nor because Orpheus moved him, but because of Persephone. This video is actually pretty far from the original myths, but that’s alright, it’s art.

The other said that maybe Orpheus meant to look back not because of love but because of poetry. And the other said that maybe it was Eurydice who told Orpheus to turn around...it was something like that, I don’t exactly remember how they said it lol but it left me thinking a lot and then the end of the movie came and I cried waterfalls this time:’(

What if Hades and Persephone knew that Orpheus would look back, yet also knew that the Maenads jealous of such a man never loving them, would return Orpheus to Eurydices by returning him to the underworld? This would give the underworld a small speck of color and beauty in an otherwise sea of grey. Judging by how moved they were from his love for her? It would have pleased them to have him within the Underworld. Knowing that by doing this, it wouldn't violate the natural order of death, and would return him to his one true love at the same time. What if by doing this, the Gods granted him exactly what he wanted: To spend eternity with the love of his life, as I doubt he'd care where he was, as long as he was with her, and she with him. Plus, the underworld gets to see happiness in an otherwise unhappy place. Sure, it's mythology but that's how I like to think of it. I'm a sucker for happy endings.

With that kind of grief, I'm sure Orpheus' last thought as the women killed him was, "Finally... I'll see Eurydice in a moment." He would have been looking forward to it. "Kill me faster please. I haven't wished to live for years."

I see this more of a tragic story than a love story. The Greeks prefer tragic love stories a lot, a lot. Seldomly, if ever, the couple is just right and consenting to each other, and fate/gods are merciful to the lovers in Ancient Greek stories.
@MochYee
@MochYee 6 лет назад
Yeah. Let's see, which stories actually ended up okay... Perseus and Andromeda Psyche and Eros (after a bunch of suffering) Apollo and Cyrene (well I mean they broke up but Apollo gave Cyrene one last gift which was to turn her into a water nymph so that she could enjoy a longer and happier life) I think that's about it. At least out of the ones I know. :/

Heracles (or Hercules) and however the girl was called. But yep, very, very few.
@MochYee

Daniel Sarabia Didn't Heracles's love story end up as a tragedy too? Hera made Heracles go mad and kill his first wife (Megara) and children, so then he had to do the 10+2 labours to make up for it. Then there was Deianeira, his last wife as a mortal who unintentionally poisoned him by putting centaur blood in his clothes, thinking it was a love potion. Heracles let himself die on a funeral pyre and became a god (and then married Hebe, goddess of youth), but when Deianeira found out what she did, she killed herself. :/
