Apollo himself was also the god of music, and he gave Orpus a seven stringed instrument. Whenever Orpus plays the piano while singing the beautiful songs his mother taught him. Birds in the sky, fish in the water, beasts in the forest, even trees and rocks came to listen to his wonderful song. His lover is the beautiful and lovely water god Eurydice. They are full of tenderness and love each other. Ah, but their happiness is too brief! What awaits them will be a cruel fate. Beautiful Eurydice and her companions were walking on the grass by the stream when they were bitten by a venomous snake hidden in the grass and died in the arms of their frightened companions. The mournful cries and wails of this water god echoed incessantly in the high mountains and valleys. Orpus' tears and singing were also mixed in, and his mournful songs conveyed his grief. Birds and spiritual animals of all sizes mourned with this lonely man. But his prayers and cries did not call back his lover.
So he made an unheard of decision: to go down to the terrifying underworld and request Hades the underworld and Persephone the queen to return Eurydice to him. He walked down from the entrance of the underworld at Tenaron. The shadow of the undead floated eerily around him. But he strode through the various fear scenes of the Kingdom of the Dead, all the way to the throne of the colorless Hades and Persephone. There, he played the lyre, With the beautiful sound of the piano singing: Oh, great ruler of the underworld, please grant me permission to speak, please listen to my wishes! It's not my curiosity that drives me to visit the underworld, nor is it for the fun of catching three watchdog dogs. I came to you for my love. He brought me joy and laughter. In a few days, she was bitten by a venomous snake, and her youth returned to the underworld. Look, I must endure this immeasurable pain! As a man I have been struggling for many years, but love has torn my heart apart, and I cannot do without Eurydice. I pray to you, the terrifying divine god of the underworld. In this terrifying place, in this silent wilderness of your jurisdiction: Please give her, my love, back to me! Give her freedom, let her prematurely withered life regain its youth! If that's not possible, then put me in the ranks of the undead as well. Without her, I can never return to the ground The undead heard his plea and burst into tears. Of course, it also touched the underworld king and queen, and then the queen said, 'The underworld king agreed to your request.'. As he spoke, he called Eurydice over and walked unsteadily to Orpheus. Take her away, "said the queen," but remember, before you cross the gates of the underworld, you must never look back at her. She belongs to you. If you look back too early, she will never belong to you.

Orpus, with his lover, silently and swiftly climbed up the terrifying darkness that shrouded the night. Orpus suddenly had an indescribable desire in his mind: he secretly turned his ear and tried to see if he could hear his lover's breath or the sound of her skirt, but he could hear nothing. Everything around him was a deathly silence. He was overwhelmed by fear and love, unable to control himself, so he bravely glanced back quickly. Ah, what a misfortune! At this moment, Eurydice's two eyes full of sadness and tenderness stared fixedly at him, drifting back into the terrifying abyss. He reached out his arm in despair towards the disappearing Eurydice. It's of no use at all! She suffered a second death, but there was no sorrow - if he could complain, it could only be because their love was too deep. She had already disappeared from Orpus' sight. Goodbye, goodbye! "A low and faint voice came from afar, gradually disappearing into the depths of the underworld.
Due to sadness and shock, Orpus stood for a moment, and then he wanted to rush back into the dark abyss. But the ferryman of the Styx River blocked its way and refused to cross the black Styx River. So the poor man stopped eating or drinking, kept crying, and sat by the banks of the Ming River for seven days and seven nights. He prayed to the gods of the underworld to show mercy again, but the gods of the underworld are not compassionate, and they will never soften their hearts again. Afterwards, he had to return to the world with infinite sadness and enter the remote mountains and forests of Thrace. He avoided the crowd and lived alone for three years. When he saw a woman talking to him, he ignored him because his lovely image of Eurydice had always appeared around him. It was she who made this singer sing all the sorrowful songs; When he thought of her, he played the banjo and sang a beautiful song of sorrow.

One day, the magical singer sat on a mountain covered in green grass but without shade and sang his own song. The forest immediately moved, and the big trees moved closer and closer, until they shaded him with their own branches. The wild beasts and cheerful birds in the forest also gathered in a circle to listen to his wonderful singing. At this moment, a group of women from Thrace who were celebrating the carnival of Dionysus, the god of wine, rushed over in a noisy manner. They hate this singer because he has unconsciously hurt the hearts of all women since the death of his lover. They suddenly discovered this disdainer for all women.
Look, that person who hurt the woman is there! "A drunken madwoman shouted, and a group of madwomen roared and charged at him, throwing stones at him and hitting him with sticks. For a long time, there have been loyal animal protection singers. When his singing gradually disappeared into the roar of the group of women, the animals panicked and fled to the dense forest. At this moment, a large flying stone hit Orpus' temple, and he immediately fell on the green grass with blood all over his face, forever closing his eyes.
The group of murderous wild women had just escaped when the birds whimpered and flew over, and the rocks and all the beasts approached him in sorrow. The gods of the mountains, forests, and rivers hastily gathered around it, all wrapped in black robes. They were all deeply saddened by Orpus' death, burying his mutilated limbs. The rising river collected and swept away his head and lyre. The melodious sound of the piano and the song emanating from the unperturbed strings and the soulless tongue have been constantly floating and flying in the water, while the riverbank softly echoes with sadness. This river thus carried its head and lyre into the waves of the sea, reaching directly to the shore of the small island of Spears, where the residents salvaged his head and lyre. Their head was buried by them, and the seven stringed qin was hung in a temple. Therefore, it is said that many outstanding poets and singers appeared on that small island, even to worship the sacred tomb of Orpus, where the birds sang more sweetly than those from elsewhere. But his soul drifted and swayed down the underworld. There he found his lover again, and they stayed in that fairyland. They embraced happily, no longer separated, and forever united with each other.
