Summary:
Orpheus was the son of Calliope, the Muse of poetry, and King Oeagus, Thrace’s king. Apollo, the god of music and light, gave to the little child the chance of playing such as good music as he plays. And that was just the beginning of the story. He helped the Argonauts when they arrived near the island of the Sirens, where they got hypnotized by them. He was in the stuff in all the trip, when they finally took the Golden Fleece from the Colchis’ king, Pelias.
When he returned to Thrace, he loved Eurydice and he married her. But in the party after the wedding, a snake bit Eurydice and killed her. Orpheus travelled into the underworld to bring her back to life, but if he wanted to manage that, he had not to look her until they go into the upperworld. And he didn’t manage that. After that, he was so disappointed, that he never played again a happy music. When he died, he went into the stars, and we can see him till today.
