The story of Eurydice and orpheus

Orpheus is an outstanding singer, unparalleled. He was the son of King Thrace, the river god Argos and the muse Kalliope. Apollo gave him a harpsichord. When he plucked the strings and the melodious piano music fluttered everywhere, the birds in the sky, the fish in the water, the animals in the forest, and even the trees and rocks moved involuntarily to listen to this wonderful sound. Orpheus's wife Eurydice is a gentle woman. Husband and wife are loving and sincere, which is rare in the sky and rare on the ground. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When the joyful songs at the wedding still echoed under the blue sky and white clouds, death had stretched out his magical hand and left this world with young Eurydice in his arms. It turned out that the beautiful Eurydice was walking on the Yuan Ye with many fairies when suddenly a poisonous snake swam out of the hidden grass. It bit Eurydice's heel, and Eurydice immediately fell to the ground, dying.

Mountains and rivers, valleys, no, there are fairy moans between heaven and earth. Orpheus was sad, too. He turned his anger into a song. But his tears and requests can't save his wife's lost fate. At this time, he bravely made an amazing decision that he had never heard of: he would go to the cruel underworld and return it to his wife Eurydice.

He entered the gate of the underworld from Tynalong. The shadow of the dead surrounded him in horror. In spite of gloomy fears, he passed through the tomb of Horgos until he came to the home of pale Hades and his strict wife. There he erected the harpsichord, plucked the strings and sang sweet songs:

"ah! Lord of hades, merciful king, please accept my request! I'm not here out of curiosity. No, I only dare to offend my dignity for my wife. The insidious snake bit her and poisoned her. She was immersed in the gorgeous flowers of youth. She is just my temporary happiness. You see, I am willing to bear this unbearable suffering, and my mind has been churning for thousands of times. However, love broke my heart. I can't live without Eurydice. So I beg you, terrible and sacred death! Bring my wife back to me with this place of extreme fear and the infinite desolation of your border! Give her a new life! If all this is impossible, please include me in your death. Without my wife, I will never come back from the dead! " Words are like gold, and they hit the floor.

He sang and played the strings with his fingers. Melodious piano music fascinated the bloodless ghost and tears rolled down involuntarily. The tragic Tantalus no longer wants to drink flowing cold water; Ixions Whee's wheel of punishment stopped turning; Danaus's daughters gave up their futile efforts, snuggled together and listened quietly in front of the urn; Sisyphus forgot his torture and sat on a thorny stone, listening to beautiful music without complaint. At that time, people later recalled that even Eumenides, the cruel nemesis, had tears on her face. Although the Hades, who dominate the nether world, are sad and sad, they also feel pity for the first time. Persephone summoned the ghost of Eurydice, and the shadow came hesitantly. Only heard the goddess of the underworld commanded orpheus to say:

"Just take her home, but remember: as long as you two have not passed through the gate of the underworld, you will never look back at her. So she can call you back. If you see her too early, you will lose her forever. "

Two people climbed on the dark road without saying a word. Night is surrounded by fear. Orpheus's heart is full of longing. He listened carefully, hoping to hear his wife's breathing and the rustle of clothes when she walked. But there was silence around him, and his heart was full of irresistible fear and love. He finally turned around and took a quick look. Oh, dear! When he saw Eurydice's eyes, he looked at himself with great sadness and tenderness. Unfortunately, her figure moved back involuntarily and fell into a terrible abyss. He stretched out his arms in despair, hoping to save his wife. However, she failed and she died for the second time.

Orpheus stood there with cold hands and feet, terrified, and then plunged into the dark abyss. However, not this time. Caron, the god who crossed the Styx to hades, refused to let him cross the dark Styx. Orpheus sat on the river bank for seven days and seven nights. He doesn't eat or drink, and his sad tears are like scattered pearls. He appealed to the gods of the underworld for mercy. However, they are all selfless and will never show mercy for the second time. Orpheus died with a broken heart. He quietly hid in the lonely Thrace forest and lived in seclusion for three years.

One day, the immortal singer sat on the bare slate and sang as usual. Moved by it, the forest is getting closer and closer, sticking out dense branches to block out the sun for him. The animals and happy birds in the forest also stopped and flew. They listened attentively, and their magical singing made them Zhan Yan. However, on this day, many Thracian women celebrate the festival of Dionysus, the god of wine. They danced in the Woods and were very happy. Women hate this singer, because since his wife died, this singer has broken off friendship with all women.

The women saw the singer. "Look, he is laughing at us!" A crazy woman suddenly cried. At the moment, everyone roared and gathered at him. They picked up stones or threw Dionysian canes at orpheus who was singing. Loyal animals stand up to protect the lovely singer. However, when his singing was gradually lost in the angry cries of crazy women, they suddenly fled into the dense forest in horror. At that time, a stone hit the temple in orpheus. He was dying on the slate.

As soon as these murdering women left, a flock of birds came flapping their wings. They hover sadly on the bluestone board. Besides, there are many animals, streams and trees, and the fairies are coming. The fairies are all wearing black shirts. They mourned orpheus sadly, and then buried his scarred body together. He bruns, the river god, swam to the sea quickly and took away orpheus's head and harp. The surging waves sent their heads and harps straight to the sea in a whimper, and sent them to the beach of Lesburg Island. The residents there religiously fished these two things out of the water, buried orpheus's head and hung the harp in a temple. Therefore, there are many famous poets and singers on that island. They mourn the immortal orpheus at the grave, and even the nightingale on the island sings better than other places. His soul drifted into the underworld, where orpheus rediscovered his loved ones who missed him day and night. They will never be apart again.
