Once upon a time there lived a great musician in Greece. His name was Orpheus. He could play

beautifully on his lyre. He could produce wonderful tunes. When he played on his lyre, even wild

animals stopped to listen to his music.

Orpheus had a beautiful wife. Her name was Euridice. Orpheus and Euridice loved each other

deeply. They could not live without each other. For hours together Orpheus played on his lyre and

Euridice sat listening. “I can’t live without your music, Orpheus,” she said. “And can I live without

you?” asked Orpheus. One day Orpheus and Euridice went out in the woods. Orpheus was playing

on his lyre. Euridice began to pick some flowers. While she was picking the flowers, by mistake she

stepped on a snake. The snake bit her and she died at once.

When Orpheus saw her dead, he was full of grief. His life changed completely. He could not play

on his lyre. He could not sing. He was very sad. He could not bear to live without Euridice. He said

to his friends, “I can’t live without Euridice. I will go to the land of dead and bring her back.”​
