Orpheus was saddened by the death of his beloved and decided to go to the underworld to rescue her. Once there, the melody of his lyre convinced the ferryman Charon to take him alive at the River Styx; then her sweet aria did fall asleep Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guarded the roads of the Underworld; his corner eased torture of the damned, and finally when he reached the throne of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, had to appease his anger and convince him to return his Eurydice. Hades, the principle is furious at a man alive penetrate their domains, but the sad song of pain and pricked Orpheus made him cry tears of iron and moved Persephone, his wife, who begged Hades allowed Orpheus to bring his beloved back, and it was done, but on one condition: that Orpheus not look at Eurydice until it is hit by sunlight, in the living world.
