In European folklore, Orfe is a mythological hero who is famous for his musical abilities and his ability to charm wild animals. According to the myth, Orfe was married to the beautiful Eurydice, who died tragically. In order to bring her back to life, Orfe descended into the underworld, where he used his musical abilities to charm the rulers of the underworld, Hades and Persephone. In exchange for his musical performance, Hades and Persephone agreed to return Eurydice to the land of the living. However, Orfe was given one condition: he was not allowed to look back at Eurydice until they had both reached the surface of the earth. Unfortunately, Orfe was unable to resist the temptation to look back at Eurydice, and as a result, he lost her forever. This tragic myth has been retold throughout European history, and it continues to inspire artists, musicians, and writers to this day.
