    Orpheus was a gifted musician whose music had the power to affect both people and gods. His greatest strength was his musical talent, but his greatest weakness was his love for his wife Eurydice. When Eurydice died, Orpheus' great love drove him to travel to the underworld to rescue her, appealing to Hades and Persephone with his music. However, on their way back to earth, Orpheus broke the condition that he not look back at Eurydice and she was lost to him again.
