ORPHEUS

Description: This piece tells the story of Orpheus’ travels to the underworld to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, who had died of snakebite. He made his way to the Underworld’s royal couple (Hades and Persephone) and persuaded Hades to give him a chance to bring his wife back to life. He got permission on condition that he didn’t look at Eurydice until they reached the light of day, something he was unable to do.

Level: Late Intermediate (what does this mean?)
