June 17th Day Of Eurydice

Tweet

IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY "EURYDICE" WAS A DRYAD, OR TREE NYMPH. SHE WAS USUALLY REPRESENTED AS A YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL MAIDEN. WHEN "ORPHEUS" SAW HER, HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HER, AND SO DEEP WAS THEIR LOVE, THAT THEY WERE INSEPARABLE. HE HAD NEVER BEEN AS HAPPY AS WHEN HE WAS WITH HER, BUT THEIR LOVE WAS NOT TO LAST. ONE DAY WHILE SHE WAS RUNNING THROUGH THE MEADOW, SHE WAS BITTEN BY A SERPENT. "ORPHEUS" RAN TO HELP HER BUT THE POISON OF THE STING KILLED HER, AND SHE DESCENDED INTO "HADES."

HE WAS SO DESPERATE AND FOUND SO LITTLE ELSE MEANINGFUL, THAT HE DECIDED ADDRESS "HADES. "HE SEARCHED THE EARTH UNTIL HE FOUND AN ENTRANCE TO THE UNDERWORLD AND FOLLOWED TUNNELS DEEP UNDERGROUND UNTIL HE FOUND THE SHORES OF THE" RIVER STYX". NOW, MANY HAD ALREADY APPROACHED" HADES "TO BEG FOR LOVED ONES BACK AND AS MANY TIMES WERE REFUSED. BUT" ORPHEUS' "MUSIC WAS SO SWEET AND SO MOVING THAT IT SOFTENED THE STEEL HEARTED HEART OF" HADES "HIMSELF.

"HADES "GAVE PERMISSION TO" ORPHEUS" TO BRING" EURYDICE" BACK TO THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH TO ENJOY THE LIGHT OF DAY. THERE WAS ONLY ONE CONDITION--"ORPHEUS "WAS NOT TO LOOK BACK AS HE ASCENDED. HE WAS TO TRUST THAT" EURYDICE "WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND HIM. IT WAS A LONG WAY BACK UP AND JUST AS "ORPHEUS "HAD ALMOST FINISHED THAT LAST PART OF THE TREK, HE LOOKED BEHIND HIM TO MAKE SURE "EURYDICE " WAS STILL WITH HIM. AT THAT VERY MOMENT, SHE WAS SNATCHED BACK DOWN TO THE "UNDERWORLD" FOREVER.

THEY SAY THAT, EVEN TO THIS DAY, WHEN YOU HEAR MUSIC WHICH MOURNS LOST LOVE, IT IS" ORPHEUS'" SPIRIT WHO GUIDES THE HAND OF THE MUSICIANS WHO PLAY IT.
