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

@fernandovaca7733

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.

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😌

I played one of the chorus in 'Eurydice' by Sarah Ruhl! Yeah, it is a great love story-which is why it has been retold for thousands of years!

Me: mom, I want to watch hadestown! Mom: we have hadestown at home! Me: sounds good! **after watching ** *us crying *

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.

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.

Supergiant's Hades song Good Riddance sung by Ashley Barrett, and their handling of the two characters in the game is one of the best homages to this tragic story.

I recently watched a movie called Portrait of a Lady on Fire and at one point they read this story and then they try to get the meaning behind it. One of them said that Orpheus should have trusted more and shouldn’t have looked back even in temptation. 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:’(

The beginning was sad when his wife died but then I'm filled with great happiness at the end when he says "sometimes, he takes the lead, turning to look back at her as often as he likes." Looking back at her as he was leaving the underworld was the reason why she couldn't leave, but now he look back at her beautiful face as much as he likes. :)

1 year and a few months ago, I read this myth and I immediately knew I want to learn to play an instrument. The violin came to my mind and it felt perfect. At the end of that summer, I picked up violin. Now I can play a few pieces and I'm as excited as I was in the first place. My dream is to become a soloist. I know, there is a long and hard way to go, but I'm happy that I chose it and I'm ready for it. It's a beautiful journey, and it all started thanks to my teacher who recommended us to read this myth...

" 'Til death do us apart ", but in here, death brought them together. That's quite beautiful.

It's uncanny how similar Orpheus and Eurydice's tale is similar to Izanagi and Izanami's.
