In this story, we get to see what true love really is. After the reading story of Orpheus and Eurydice, I realized that true love means to always be by the persons side, to be their best friend, their shoulder to cry on, and to go down to hell if Hades takes them away from me. This is exactly what the musician, Orpeheus does. When he gets there, Hades (god of the underworld) is nice enough to give Alcyone back on one condition: she must walk behind Orpheus and he is not allowed to look at her. If your lady got sent to the fiery depths of hell and you were able to rescue her, wouldn't you actually like to see her first? I would, and Orpheus did, so he turned around. This really made me mad because they were so close to exiting through the gates of the underworld when Orpheus decides to turn around. FAIL! As punishment, Alcyone got taken away again, and Orpheus had to relive that moment over and over. Poor Guy.
