Mortality and immortality are closer than most gods care to believe. There are such minor gods as can be killed. So it is with nymphs, and all the naiads and the dryads and the like, the spirits of the woods, and seas, and skies; in life, they captivate our mortal senses and imagination, but in death, we all are more alike. The nymph Eurydice, born of the oak itself, must know this better than her kind. She took a suitor who, by most accounts, was but a common mortal; talented beyond compare, but not a god. Yet, all the love they shared could not keep death from tearing them apart. She bears a special mention here for having almost fled the Underworld, once. Login or Register. Eurydice noun. Save Word.

But Orpheus detected him and his plan, so he grabbed Eurydice by the hand and they began to run through the forest, trying to escape their enemy. But Aristaeus was strong and swift and was able to keep up with the couple. Just as he was gaining ground, Eurydice suddenly stumbled and fell. He looked around for Aristaeus, but he had already left after witnessing what had happened to Eurydice. She had stepped on a nest of snakes and had been bitten by a venomous viper. She had quickly passed and, without warning, Orpheus found himself to be a widower. While he had once been free-spirited and lively, he was now without a purpose. He grieved for his wife from the moment he woke up until he retired at the end of each day. Through his grief, he was able to come up with a plan to get his wife back. It was a crazy idea but he had no choice. He was nothing without Eurydice. He planned on going to the Underworld and speaking to Hades , the god who ran the world that accepted the souls of the deceased. He asked his father, Apollo , to speak to Hades and warn him of his imminent arrival. Orpheus brought his lyre and used his music and voice to gain access to the Underworld. He told Hades and the other rulers why he was there. He played the lyre and sang a song to King Hades and Queen Persephone. The pain in his voice was obvious and the song was beautiful and captivating, just like Eurydice. But there was a catch. Hades warned Orpheus that he was not to look back at his wife while they were journeying back to the Upper World. He was to walk in front of her and remain faithful that she was there, only looking back once they had entered the light. Orpheus agreed and was thrilled that his plan had worked. He began the journey back to the Upper World with a smile on his face. The journey was long though, and his mind began to give his heart doubt. Just as the sun hit him, he turned to see his wife. But because she was behind him and still in the shadows of the Underworld, she was pulled back into the land of the dead. Orpheus fell to the ground in despair. He tried to enter the Underworld again but he was denied entry.

After their marriage, Eurydice was pursued by Aristaeus ; in her effort to evade him, she stepped on a snake, she was bitten and died. Orpheus , devastated, started playing such a mournful melody on his lyre that the nymphs and gods wept in pain; they advised him to search for Eurydice in the Underworld and bring her back. Passing through the Gates of the Underworld, his singing and his melody touched even the hearts of the God of the Underworld, Hades , and his wife, Persephone. Even the Furies could not withhold their tears. So, he was allowed to take Eurydice back to the surface. Eurydice pens a letter to Orpheus and his next wife, then immerses herself in the river and lies down in forgetfulness. Finally, Orpheus too enters from the elevator, having truly died this time. He finds Eurydice's letter to him, but because he has been dipped in the river, he cannot read it.

But because she was behind him and still in the shadows of the Underworld, she was pulled back into the land of the dead. Orpheus fell to the ground in despair. He tried to enter the Underworld again but he was denied entry. Orpheus spent the rest of his days disoriented, wandering in despair. Nothing nor no one could console him. He was tormented by his memories and no longer possessed the musical talents that he once did. He shunned all women from his life, which eventually led to his demise. One day, as Orpheus lay on top of a rock, staring up into the skies, a group of women attacked him. He did not fight them off, even as they cut his body apart and eventually threw him into the river with his lyre. The myth says that his head and lyre eventually floated to the island of Lesvos, where Muses found them and executed a proper burial for the widower. It was said that his grave emanated music when his soul was finally reunited with Eurydice in Hades. Eurydice was an oak nymph known for her beauty. She was married to Orpheus, known for his love of music, but their marriage was too short to result in any children. It is said that Eurydice was strikingly beautiful and attracted many suitors. She was a faithful wife though, which ultimately led to her death. In artistic representations of Eurydice, she is either shown immediately following her encounter with the snake bite or on her journey out of the underworld. Eurydice is often shown with her husband as neither of their myths can exist without the other.

Upon arrival, she meets her father, who tries to reteach Eurydice about her past since she has lost her memory after being dipped in the river Lethe. The Stones try unsuccessfully to stop them, because the dead are not allowed to remember their past or speak in human language. Rooms are also not allowed in the underworld, but Eurydice's father creates one for her out of pieces of string. He gradually re-teaches her human language and her past. While the father is away at work, the lord of the underworld enters as a child riding a tricycle and attempts to seduce Eurydice, but fails. Meanwhile, in the land of the living, Orpheus writes a letter to Eurydice, which her father delivers and reads to her. Orpheus also sends her a copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare by attaching it to a piece of string, and Eurydice's father reads to her from King Lear. Orpheus sends another letter, and then resolves to go to the underworld himself to find her. In the third movement, Orpheus arrives at the gates of the underworld, singing a song so powerful it makes the Stones weep. The lord of the underworld tells him that he may take Eurydice back, but only if he does not turn around to look at her. Eurydice is then faced with the decision to either stay with her father or go back with her husband. At her father's insistence, she follows Orpheus. But as she catches up to him, she calls out his name, and he turns to look at her, causing her to die a second death. Meanwhile, her father has decided that he wants to forget everything, and dips himself in the river again. When Eurydice returns, her father is lying silent on the ground, having lost all of his language and memory forever. As Eurydice mourns her father, the lord of the underworld returns, having grown from a child to superhuman height. He orders her to be his bride. Eurydice pens a letter to Orpheus and his next wife, then immerses herself in the river and lies down in forgetfulness. Finally, Orpheus too enters from the elevator, having truly died this time. He finds Eurydice's letter to him, but because he has been dipped in the river, he cannot read it.
