[HPforGrownups] Orpheus Legend *OOPS*

Orpheus and Euridice is a prime example. Decending into Hades to retrieve his wife, Orpheus goes through all sorts of trials and tribulations to find her and try and bring her back to life. When he finally does manage to get hold of her, Hades says he can take her back, *but* they cannot look behind them as they leave. Well, they almost make it to the gates leading out, and damn if  Orpheus's wife doesn't look back at the last moment...oops. So the legions of hell come and get her, and Orpheus *still* does not have his wife, even though he did everything 'right' (and went through Hell, in more ways than one, doing it).

--repsonding to self here before the college folks get hold of me...!

I *did* get my legends confused, I realized after I sent this. It's Orpheus who looks back to make sure his wife is there....the result is still the same though.

Sorry for the inaccurate post first time around...
