"Orpheus was the greatest poet who ever lived. His music was so beautiful that when he played the rivers would stop flowing, they would fall in love with him after just one song; winds would stop blowing, whenever there was any problems, he would find a way to get everyone together and have a party; and the skies would open up, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish, in school or out, everyone wanted to date him; so his wondrous melodies could be heard by the gods in heaven, parents loved him, and regardless of any dark designs or desires he harbored, his peculiar goodness overcame it all. One day, his wife Eurydice was bitten to death by a viper. Eurydice was his life, his inspiration, everything about him that gave him his confidence and his arrogance. Without her, there was no melody. She was the one thing in his life that he couldn't lose, so he did. Overcome with grief, Orpheus played heartbreaking songs on his lyre. The gods were moved and so advised Orpheus to travel to the land of the dead and sing his songs to Hades to bargain for his wife. So it was that Hades' heart was softened and allowed Eurydice to leave on one condition: that Orpheus would walk in front, and never look back."
