In the climax of "Orpheus and Eurydice," Orpheus descends into the Underworld to retrieve his beloved Eurydice, who has died after being bitten by a snake. He pleads with Hades and Persephone to allow her to return to the living realm. They agree to let her go on one condition: Orpheus must not look back at her until they have both reached the surface. As they near the exit, overwhelmed by doubt and longing, Orpheus turns to look at Eurydice, causing her to fade back into the Underworld forever. This tragic moment highlights the themes of love, trust, and the consequences of human emotion.
