The myth of Orpheus is one of the most beautiful Greek myths about love, and one of the most beautiful myths is the story of its hero, a harpist and musician with a sweet voice, and from the sweetness of his voice, animals and birds followed him, and trees and stones moved for him. He is Orpheus, the tormented lover.

His mother was the goddess of singing, and his father was said to be the great Apollo, who loved his son and gave him a lyre to play the sweet tavern that excites souls. Orpheus traveled on a legendary journey in search of the golden undercoat, and after his return, the beautiful love of his life, Orideus, was waiting for him, the nymph of the forest with whom he fell in love and melted in love with him to the core.

But the happiness of the lovers did not last long, as evil swirled around them, represented by Aristaeus, his brother to Orpheus, the half-brother, who wanted to deprive his brother of his wife to taste the bitterness of separation, so he sent her a snake to steal her soul. The way to convince the old Sharon is that he will not make him cross the River Eustex, so he resorted to the tavern to let Sharon feel his tragedy. He continued to sing until the mortuary's heart softened and he was allowed to cross.

Orpheus' problems did not end, but only aggravated, so he had to cross a door plowed by Serapius, a three-headed dog that no one dared to approach. Until he reached the king of the kingdom of the dead Hades and his wife Persephone, who marveled at the presence of a living person among the dead and ghosts, and Orpheus did not give them time, so he played a melody that tears the hearts of hearts, explaining his misfortune and pain that even ghosts shed tears.

Hades felt what was going on in the soul of this suffering lover and decided to help him by returning his wife to him in the world of the living, but on the condition that he did not look at her until he crossed the gate of the underworld, and Orpheus flew from the intensity of happiness and he was unbelievable and tried to adhere and cohesion to achieve the condition and so as not to lose his wife and his beloved, but longing almost teared him When he crossed the gate of the underworld, he wanted to be sure that his wife was following him.

He didn't let her pass and looked at her, and soon she melted into the absence of the dark world, begging to hold her husband's hand, who felt the most intense pain and sorrow for losing his wife for the second time and before his eyes, he tried to beg Sharon to let him cross, but he realized that his chance was over and he had to live alone In pain, Orpheus decided to live alone, so that no other woman would set foot in the land of his heart after his beloved wife, so he lived on the top of the Erebus high, serving in the temple of Apollo among young boys.

But he was not spared from the cunning of women, so they surrounded him and flirted with him, but he was repelling them, as he would not be for anyone except for his only lover, Oredius, but the women of Dionysus, who were followers of Bacchus, did not surrender, but decided to punish Orpheus for repelling him and his arrogance on them, so they tore him with their hands into small pieces and threw his head and lyre into the river.

Orpheus died, the grieving lover, who knew love in all its meanings, and tasted the bitterness of separation and pain, and played the lyre for the last time, the melody of parting from the world of the living, and the birds and animals cried for him, even the trees announced mourning for his loss, and his torn body floated over the river until a goddess of inspiration found him and buried him near the Olympic mountains, and his father pity him to eat His head of snakes was placed in a sacred cave, and his lyre was turned into a shining star in the sky after the pleas of Apollo to Zeus.

As for Orpheus, the faithful lover, his soul finally moved to the realm of the dead to meet his beloved wife and fill her image and features in his eyes that withered from his tears over her. Washing their hands of the blood of the pure and faithful Orpheus, the river refused and went underground, and with the wrath of all the gods on them and everyone's desire to avenge the death of Orpheus, Bacchus decided to punish them and turn them into oak trees.
