The ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice (Greek: Ὀρφεύς, Εὐρυδίκη, Orpheus, Eurydikē) concerns the fateful love of Orpheus of Thrace for the beautiful Eurydice. Orpheus was the son of Apollo and the muse Calliope. It may be a late addition to the Orpheus myths, as the latter cult-title suggests those attached to Persephone. It may have been derived from a legend in which Orpheus travels to Tartarus and charms the goddess Hecate. The subject is among the most frequently retold of all Greek myths, being featured in numerous works of literature, operas, ballets, paintings, plays and more recently, films and video games.

  • Orfeus och Eurydike är ett välkänt och ofta använt motiv ur den grekiska mytologin. Enligt myten var Orfeus en tragisk hjälte, make till nymfen Eurydike, son till flodguden Oiagros och musan Kalliope. Orfeus sjöng och spelade så vackert på sin lyra att till och med naturen och de vilda djuren stannade upp för att lyssna. När Eurydike dog av ett ormbett vandrade Orfeus omkring i bergen intill nedgången till dödsriket Hades och spelade ut sin sorg. Orfeus lyckades med sin sköna och sorgsna musik beveka underjordens härskare Karon och Hades, och göra Eurydike till den enda människa som någonsin tillåtits återvända från dödsriket. Det enda villkoret var att han skulle leda henne upp till de levandes värld utan att se sig om efter henne. Orfeus vände sig ändå om, och förlorade därmed sin älskad (sv)
