    What do you think the story of Orpheus and Eurydice means?

    Maybe the story is a reminder that no one comes back from the underworld. But the living shall be united with their loved ones once they die. That life should be lived forward and not to look back in agonizing faithless worries.

    Thanks so much for that reading of this myth. I was familiar with this tale, but only from the printed word. I'd never heard anybody recount it verbally. Your telling of it almost (almost) got a tear from me 🙂

    Reminds me a little of the story of Lot’s wife from the Hebrew Bible. Don’t look back.

    In contrast to Plato, I often found that Aristotle was quite a fool

    Perhaps...Love will eventually win. Orpheus and Eurydice are together for eternity.

    It’s more or less the story in the Bible of Lot and his wife

      There are lots of similarities between different myths and Biblical stories. Thanks for watching! 🙂

    This story is connected with the three day descent in the underworld of Sumerian Goddess Innana. Your ego is totally absent for three days, thus you are dead for three days (“Katabasis”), and you bring a grieving revelations (“sparagmos”) from the abyss.

    Have you ever seen the movie Black Orpheus released in 1959?

    • @WorldHistoryEncyclopedia
      @WorldHistoryEncyclopedia  Год назад

      I personally haven't. Do you recommend it?

      @@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia Yes. This movie is an absolute masterpiece. It plays out tales of Orpheus and Eurydice in what was, at the time, modern day Brazil during Carnival. There is some mixing of the African (Yoruba - Ifa) religion with the Ancient Hellenic tales as well. This movie is what inspired many American Jazz musicians to visit Brazil and led to the development of Bossa Nova which is a mix of Jazz & Samba music. This movie is a must see.

    Maybe it was Eurydice who asked Orpheus to turn around
