The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is one of the most beautiful and sad in Greek mythology. In the story, Orpheus, the greatest poet, and musician in history try to reclaim his wife, Eurydice, who has passed away. To save his loved one, Orpheus will travel to the underworld and back.
By narrating King Orfeo's trip to the "Other" realm in quest of his vanished queen, Dame Heurodis, the Breton poet Sir Orfeo borrows and modifies the classical Orpheus myth. Unlike Orpheus, who is motivated to reach the Otherworld by the death of his loving wife, Orfeo is motivated by the kidnapping of Heurodis.
The purpose of Greek mythology is to educate people, and the Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice teaches two lessons to ancient Greeks. First, you must honour your commitments. And second, always treat the gods with reverence.
According to many myths, he used his lyre to perform a mournful song, pleading for death so that he and Eurydice may be together forever. Either creatures tore him apart or, in a fit of rage, the Maenads murdered him.
