The marriage of Orpheus, the greatest of all poets and musicians, to Eurydice, a wood nymph, was heralded as the perfect union. Anyone could tell the couple was deeply in love. So when their wedding ceremony ended in Eurydice's untimely death, Orpheus had no choice but to venture into the underworld to try to reclaim his lost love. Brendan Pelsue shares the tragic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Isn't Adonis the daughter of Myrrah, and the lover of Aphrodite, who happened to curse Myrrah into lusting after her father (which caused the gods to curse her to become a myrrh tree) because Myrrah's mother claimed that her daughter was more beautiful than Aphrodite herself? I thought Aphrodite and Persephone were surrogate mothers who fought over Adonis once he grew to be a the archetypal hunk, but Adonis chose Aphrodite in the end as his lover. Where did the Venus and Adonis narrative come from?

So I guess this means they lived happily ever after except for the fact that they both died. Theres probably a song in there somewhere.
La, la, la, Ill love you dead or alive. La, la, la.

Now am I the only one gonna question why its Venus and not Aphrodite? I mean Venus is Roman and that would mean that hades is Pluto. And hades is Greek so Venus should be Aphrodite. :p just saying

Used Orpheus in P5 and his healing move is amazing. Used it for Kamoshida's boss fight and he used his Golden Spike Attack and me and my party members managed to dodge his attack.

What if he turned around knowing that she was there and just wanted to have a last glimpse of her?
Also, this makes me cry. Well done, Ted Ed.

This could've easily been solved if he had just brought a mirror and if he still failed, an UNO reverse card could fix anything that went wrong.
