@@steampunkastronaut7081 WELL tbh he always has company with all the dead people he has to take back I'm pretty sure hes heard everyone life story by now
I always like the version where Orpheus doesn’t turn around because of doubt, but because he takes one step out into the world and turns around too quickly to greet her in his joy. Just the heart-wrench of what face he must’ve made as she got sent back to the underworld OOO
@@nathan8750 idk, it feels less like the fault of man as insecure and fearful and more like the fault of man as hopeful and naive... if you’re gonna be a Greek tragedy, might as well have bad things happen to hopeful people to really go full ham, right? I also like the lesson more of being precautious than of blinding trust/confidence. Either way, there’s no winning though ig...
Fun Fact: A different version of the myth says that when he lost Eurydice the second time, Orpheus completely avoided women and focused on playing his music even more. He was so good that the men warriors of the territory would leave their weapons and listen to his music, enchanted. But their wives grew jealous cause they felt like he was depriving them of their husbands and decided to run up and kill him. They actually attacked and cut him in pieces and threw the parts of his body in the river Evros. But somehow his head magically stayed alive and he continued singing for ever. I'm actually taking an exam in archeology and this is one of the stories that is depicted on an attic pottery piece that I'm studying and I got too excited so I decided to share😌
"It's a sad song, but we sing it anyway. Cause, here's the thing: To know how it ends, and still begin to sing it again. As if it might turn out this time."
I really don't understand that reason, for why they sing it again. Its not a story that ends and begins just like a cycle. I want to kow what Anaïs meant by that.
There's another version of the story I believe where Eurydice fell and when Orpheus heard, he turned to help her. Which is far sadder, because it shows that he loved her so very much that his first instinct was to help.

“Perhaps he makes a choice. He chooses the memory of her. That’s why he turns. He doesn’t make the lover’s choice, but the poet’s.” ― Céline Sciamma, Portrait of a Lady on Fire
But the story is a lie in his words(he told the story wrong(well most of it )if you seen my comments(the ones saying three things wrong about the story and more(how he told it (most of it )))then you get it(if you actualy know the story)you realy will but you will get confused about this part of the comment)
They missed a very important detail about why Hades did it actually. When Orpheus comes into the palace, Hades cried “No more cheap minstrel tricks. I am a god. My rages are not to be assuaged, nor my decrees nullified. No one comes to Tartarus without being sent for. No one has before, and no one will again, when the tale is told of the torments I intend to put you to.” We all know he loved Persephone very much, and in the original myths, Orpheus actually “sang a song that conjured up a green field and a grove of trees and a slender girl painting flowers and all the light about her head, with the special clearness there was when the world had just begun. He sang of how that girl made a sight so pleasing as she played with the flowers that the birds overhead gossiped of it, and the miles underground- until the word reached even gloomy Tartarus, where a dark king heard and went up to see for himself. Orpheus sang of that king seeing the girl for the first time in a great wash of early sunlight, and what he felt when he saw that stalk-slender child in her tunic and green shoes moving with her paint pit among the flowers; the fever that ran in his blood when first he put his mighty arm about her waist, and drank her screams with his dark lips and tasted her tears; of the grief that had come upon him when he almost lost her again to her mother by Zeus’s decree; and of the joy that filled him when he learned that she had eaten of the pomegranate. Persephone was sitting at Hades’ side. She began to cry. She leaned forward and whispered to him swiftly. The king turned to Orpheus. Hades did not weep, but no one had ever seen his eyes so brilliant.” He doesn’t listen to Orpheus’s request because Orpheus asked him, nor because Orpheus moved him, but because of Persephone. This video is actually pretty far from the original myths, but that’s alright, it’s art.
"original tale" I am pretty sure that there at least 20000 versions of this story since mythology gets twisted with time and there are no more "true myths" anymore.
Theres probably many different versions , this being one of them, but it would make sense. Hades loved persephone so her asking him and him listening would be normal
Jane Hervilla It’s the thing about tragedies. It’s what makes them beautiful and heartbreaking. And everytime you just want them to please, don’t turn around, don’t go to Tebas, give Poseidon a proper sacrifice, don’t let the horse in, and so on.
I've read a version in which Eurydice did not 'suddenly' fall by the bite of a snake, but rather while running from a man in the woods that wanted to ask her for directions. She was terrified of Orpheus' jealousy towards other men (probably rooted in insecurity) and ran desperately, stepping on a snake and getting bitten. Orpheus's mistake when turning his head to see her was supposed to be a parallel with her death, showing that his insecurity had (once more) made him lose his wife.
According to Virgil and many others, that man (Aristaeus) was actually trying to assault her, and while she was running away she didn't see a snake in the grass and it bit her. Also many others think that Orpheus actually turned to look at her on purpose, so he could have something more to sing about. Of course, I prefer the more romantic ones haha
There is also another version where it is said that Eurydice, when she danced happily at her wedding, accidentally stepped on the snake and that is why it bit her and that Orpheus failed to not look back because the evidence said that he could only look back when they were already outside the house. underworld so he only looked back when both were already out of the underworld but unfortunately one of Eurydice's feet was still in the underworld so they failed the test. Therefore, many believed that this was an opportunity for Orpheus to find the love of his life since it was believed that Orpheus failed the test because he did not really love Eurydice, but Orpheus proved that he did love her when the group of women called Maenads murdered him because This rejection, his love, Orpheus did not defend himself (even though he was very strong, having been an Argonaut, if he defended himself he would surely win) and he let himself die to be reunited with Eurydice.
If you guys are into music and this particular Greek mythology, I'm here to recommend a musical to you. It's called Hadestown and it's simply beautiful.
The beginning was sad when his wife died but then I'm filled with great happiness at the end when he says "sometimes, he takes the lead, turning to look back at her as often as he likes." Looking back at her as he was leaving the underworld was the reason why she couldn't leave, but now he look back at her beautiful face as much as he likes. :)
I played the part of Eurydice in a school play! This is by far one of my favourite love stories. Good job TED-Ed for telling this story the way it is :)
@@ruzspruce9984 It was actually The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza the play itself is a humorous version of Greek myths, but in order to play the role of eurydice well, I did lots of research on the story
I love one of the morals of the story: a lot of things are like his walk out of the Underworld. If you turn around right before the end it is all for naught. Like, for example, marriage. If you start to do what YOU want simply bc YOU want to do that, you risk to lose everything.
+Jasmine Fantasy yeah, being basically imprisoned in hades' realm is goals haha. she wanted to get out, remember? but she ate the pomegranate seeds so she had to stay till mum n hades had an agreement
In the version of this story that my mother always told me, Orpheus resists temptation to look back all the way up to the world of the living. However, upon stepping out into the light, he turns around to see Eurydice, only to realise that SHE has NOT finished the climb yet, having been a few steps behind him. So she is thrown back to Hades. A small difference, but I've always preferred it because it strengthens the tragedy of the story, and that even though Orpheus did all as he had been instructed, there was no possibility for bringing the dead back.
@Idk what my name should be, okay I meant that Apollo never wanted his daughter, Eurydice married to another man. A typical overprotective parent would do what Apollo did.
It’s an old song It's an old tale from way back when It's an old song And that is how it ends That’s how it goes Don't ask why, brother, don't ask how He could have come so close The song was written long ago And that is how it goes It's a sad song It's a sad tale It's a tragedy It's a sad song But we sing it anyway
@@scarlettskipper9352 oh I was actually referencing a recent game called "Hades", which the fictional character Zagreus (son of Hades) helps reunite the two. If you are interested, you can check out the game (one of the best game in 2020 too!) or just search it out on TH-cam.
I recently watched a movie called Portrait of a Lady on Fire and at one point they read this story and then they try to get the meaning behind it. One of them said that Orpheus should have trusted more and shouldn’t have looked back even in temptation. The other said that maybe Orpheus meant to look back not because of love but because of poetry. And the other said that maybe it was Eurydice who told Orpheus to turn around...it was something like that, I don’t exactly remember how they said it lol but it left me thinking a lot and then the end of the movie came and I cried waterfalls this time:’(
even at the end , it seems that marianne could run to heloise at the theatre , she instead chose the memory of her and made ' the peot's choice , not the lover's . ' ... agree ??
4:20 for some reason this got me..he looks back as if she’d be gone any minute to check if she’s there and the animation of him running to her and embracing her is just too cute! He’s happy she’s still there.. Love like you’ll never be able to love again, if you love someone express it as much as possible as you never know when the day will come where you’ll be separated by deaths hands.
heres some time stamps for kids doing schoolwork to this. 0:12 Orpheus and Eurydice who they are / what they are 0:22 Eurydice death 0:40 Orpheus decision 0:55 Cerberus ( Three headed dog ) 1:03 Charon 1:15 Hades And Persephone
*6 pomegranate seeds. Or one-third of a pomegranate, depending on the version. But yeah, poor Persephone. (Unless you prefer the more modern interpretations, like me, where she did eventually fall in love with Hades)
This myth is NOT from the Greek Mythology.It's from the Bulgarian Mythology,Orpheus was thracian and it's prooved.Educate yourself.Many people think that he was greek but he wasn't.Read sth 'bout it🙂
@Hunter Velinov all he had to do was follow the directions. It isn't Hades being cruel when Orpheus turned to look back. (Now whoever sent the snake to bite her in the first place is a different story.)
i come back to watch this every now and again because it’s such a big comfort to me. orpheus didn’t bring eurydice home, but he exerted all the effort, endured all the torment, just as he would have if he did save her. his success is not marked by the attainment of his goal, but the work he put in to get there.
IM COMING WAIT FOR ME I HEAR THE WALLS REPEATING THE FALLING OF OUR FEET, IT SOUNDS LIKE DRUMMING AND WE ARE NOT ALONE I HEAR THE ROCKS AND STONE ECHOING OUR SONG IM COMING
The forgot the bit where Eurydice was like "we were so close and you turn around when I have the farthest to fall? Don't think you're not sleeping on the couch tonight"
I read a couple lines of “A thousand ships” and somehow made the connection from this story to the movie “The book of life” . I’m so proud of myself!! I never even heard about it either
Everyone here is a Hadestown Stan. As they should be. Also just wanna day that they’re gonna win Tony’s for best lighting design, best score, and best director FOR SURE, and maybe a few others as well.
Yeah I was exaggerating but Hamiltons prices as well were raised after they won, so I don't expect myself to afford going to this one, even tho I would love too!
hadestown is a good show but Beetlejuice 100% deserved to win for lighting and set design. they changed the ENTIRE SET 3 times. they have a literal SNAKE on stage. the tonys just hates comedies for no reason
What if Hades and Persephone knew that Orpheus would look back, yet also knew that the Maenads jealous of such a man never loving them, would return Orpheus to Eurydices by returning him to the underworld? This would give the underworld a small speck of color and beauty in an otherwise sea of grey. Judging by how moved they were from his love for her? It would have pleased them to have him within the Underworld. Knowing that by doing this, it wouldn't violate the natural order of death, and would return him to his one true love at the same time. What if by doing this, the Gods granted him exactly what he wanted: To spend eternity with the love of his life, as I doubt he'd care where he was, as long as he was with her, and she with him. Plus, the underworld gets to see happiness in an otherwise unhappy place. Sure, it's mythology but that's how I like to think of it. I'm a sucker for happy endings.
@@darrellestabillo2576 sorry, was not disrespecting your previous comment, just saying. Also, as I previously wrote it. Poseidon and Zeus did some messed up stuff, that was way worse. Even if it seemed like that, I was agreeing with you.
1 year and a few months ago, I read this myth and I immediately knew I want to learn to play an instrument. The violin came to my mind and it felt perfect. At the end of that summer, I picked up violin. Now I can play a few pieces and I'm as excited as I was in the first place. My dream is to become a soloist. I know, there is a long and hard way to go, but I'm happy that I chose it and I'm ready for it. It's a beautiful journey, and it all started thanks to my teacher who recommended us to read this myth...
With that kind of grief, I'm sure Orpheus' last thought as the women killed him was, "Finally... I'll see Eurydice in a moment." He would have been looking forward to it. "Kill me faster please. I haven't wished to live for years."
I think he would have probably ended up in a different part of the underworld for having killed himself or something. (Take that with a grain of salt though.)
Philia Z, when he tried to, the things he was using to kill himself wouldn't let him. Like if he tried to jump off a cliff, the wind would carry him away safely.
I see this more of a tragic story than a love story. The Greeks prefer tragic love stories a lot, a lot. Seldomly, if ever, the couple is just right and consenting to each other, and fate/gods are merciful to the lovers in Ancient Greek stories.
Yeah. Let's see, which stories actually ended up okay... Perseus and Andromeda Psyche and Eros (after a bunch of suffering) Apollo and Cyrene (well I mean they broke up but Apollo gave Cyrene one last gift which was to turn her into a water nymph so that she could enjoy a longer and happier life) I think that's about it. At least out of the ones I know. :/
Daniel Sarabia Didn't Heracles's love story end up as a tragedy too? Hera made Heracles go mad and kill his first wife (Megara) and children, so then he had to do the 10+2 labours to make up for it. Then there was Deianeira, his last wife as a mortal who unintentionally poisoned him by putting centaur blood in his clothes, thinking it was a love potion. Heracles let himself die on a funeral pyre and became a god (and then married Hebe, goddess of youth), but when Deianeira found out what she did, she killed herself. :/
I agree. I feel a lot better after reading Greek tragedies. Not because I like suffering, but I am able to experience it in a safer way and emphasize. That allows me to bear through some sufferings in my life
I am a sucker for love stories but the different definitions/occurences of Love in the many different Mythologies has a place in my heart. This one especially.
These greek myth videos have been a hit with my class when looking at Greek mythology. Plus I love when the videos are under 5 minutes perfect for fitting into lessons! 😁👏

But the story is a lie in his words(he told the story wrong(well most of it )if you seen my comments(the ones saying three things wrong about the story and more(how he told it (most of it )))then you get it(if you actualy know the story)you realy will but you will get confused about this part of the comment)

@@trafalgarlaw152 (stops singing) ... is that a joke about Eurydice?
I’m here because I want to go into mythological studies and not everyone is here because of Hadestown.
They missed a very important detail about why Hades did it actually. When Orpheus comes into the palace, Hades cried “No more cheap minstrel tricks. I am a god. My rages are not to be assuaged, nor my decrees nullified. No one comes to Tartarus without being sent for. No one has before, and no one will again, when the tale is told of the torments I intend to put you to.” We all know he loved Persephone very much, and in the original myths, Orpheus actually “sang a song that conjured up a green field and a grove of trees and a slender girl painting flowers and all the light about her head, with the special clearness there was when the world had just begun. He sang of how that girl made a sight so pleasing as she played with the flowers that the birds overhead gossiped of it, and the miles underground- until the word reached even gloomy Tartarus, where a dark king heard and went up to see for himself. Orpheus sang of that king seeing the girl for the first time in a great wash of early sunlight, and what he felt when he saw that stalk-slender child in her tunic and green shoes moving with her paint pit among the flowers; the fever that ran in his blood when first he put his mighty arm about her waist, and drank her screams with his dark lips and tasted her tears; of the grief that had come upon him when he almost lost her again to her mother by Zeus’s decree; and of the joy that filled him when he learned that she had eaten of the pomegranate. Persephone was sitting at Hades’ side. She began to cry. She leaned forward and whispered to him swiftly. The king turned to Orpheus. Hades did not weep, but no one had ever seen his eyes so brilliant.” He doesn’t listen to Orpheus’s request because Orpheus asked him, nor because Orpheus moved him, but because of Persephone. This video is actually pretty far from the original myths, but that’s alright, it’s art.
ohh, alsooo because the Erinyes (Furies) beg Hades to let her go since they are also moved
i am not sure..about what your story but enyways
"original tale" I am pretty sure that there at least 20000 versions of this story since mythology gets twisted with time and there are no more "true myths" anymore.
Theres probably many different versions , this being one of them, but it would make sense. Hades loved persephone so her asking him and him listening would be normal
I think this version was made for children. This one is so light that one would assume it's a fairytale. Greek mythology is always dark and heavy.
A simple “Marco polo” would have done

@@realisticlazer was it on Greek mythology? I feel like that's probably the answer but people reference Greek mythology in other contexts a lot.

I’m very interested in Greek and Roman mythology!! Please make more videos about it
Any Skywalker hmmm and what is it ? Ofc it is greek. Do some research at least before u comment.
The myth is Greek, but Orpheus himself is Thracian. Maybe that's what she meant.
Any Skywalker I said that I’m INTERESTED in it
Read Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes. Orpheus is explained in it as one of them.

WHY DID HE HAVE TO TURN AROUND
Because he had trust issues.
Hades is pretty tricky, ya never know with him
Well Hades is the god of the underworld after all.
Jane Hervilla It’s the thing about tragedies. It’s what makes them beautiful and heartbreaking. And everytime you just want them to please, don’t turn around, don’t go to Tebas, give Poseidon a proper sacrifice, don’t let the horse in, and so on.
RIGHT? I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE FRUSTRATED
Curiosity killed the cat.
Abyssinia Empire but satisfaction brought it back
Abyssinia Empire No, Schrödinger did.
Doubt killed Orpheus, not curiosity
Are you sure? Maybe someone should check
Curiosity made the cat a technological God.
I've read a version in which Eurydice did not 'suddenly' fall by the bite of a snake, but rather while running from a man in the woods that wanted to ask her for directions. She was terrified of Orpheus' jealousy towards other men (probably rooted in insecurity) and ran desperately, stepping on a snake and getting bitten. Orpheus's mistake when turning his head to see her was supposed to be a parallel with her death, showing that his insecurity had (once more) made him lose his wife.
This just touched me deeply
According to Virgil and many others, that man (Aristaeus) was actually trying to assault her, and while she was running away she didn't see a snake in the grass and it bit her. Also many others think that Orpheus actually turned to look at her on purpose, so he could have something more to sing about.
Of course, I prefer the more romantic ones haha
There is also another version where it is said that Eurydice, when she danced happily at her wedding, accidentally stepped on the snake and that is why it bit her and that Orpheus failed to not look back because the evidence said that he could only look back when they were already outside the house. underworld so he only looked back when both were already out of the underworld but unfortunately one of Eurydice's feet was still in the underworld so they failed the test.
Therefore, many believed that this was an opportunity for Orpheus to find the love of his life since it was believed that Orpheus failed the test because he did not really love Eurydice, but Orpheus proved that he did love her when the group of women called Maenads murdered him because This rejection, his love, Orpheus did not defend himself (even though he was very strong, having been an Argonaut, if he defended himself he would surely win) and he let himself die to be reunited with Eurydice.
If you guys are into music and this particular Greek mythology, I'm here to recommend a musical to you. It's called Hadestown and it's simply beautiful.
Hadestown is my favorite musical!
I'm late to the party, but hello fellow Hadestown fan!! :D
yES
THE_NATE_PROJECT Wow. I can't thank you enough for this.
🎶WAAAAAAAIIIIIIT for me,
I'm COMIIIIIIIIIIING🎶
The beginning was sad when his wife died but then I'm filled with great happiness at the end when he says "sometimes, he takes the lead, turning to look back at her as often as he likes." Looking back at her as he was leaving the underworld was the reason why she couldn't leave, but now he look back at her beautiful face as much as he likes. :)
I know, I cry every time
To be loved is divine
To be sad is human .
Thank you, that's beautiful, did you write that?or who's the owner of such wonderful phrase?

I played one of the chorus in 'Eurydice' by Sarah Ruhl!
Yeah, it is a great love story-which is why it has been retold for thousands of years!
I love the part where he says “it was as if Orpheus’ own loss and love allowed him to see into the hearts of Gods and people everywhere,” I felt that.

"...sometimes, he takes the lead, turning to look back at her, as often as he likes."
What, I'm not crying! YOU'RE crying!
I love one of the morals of the story: a lot of things are like his walk out of the Underworld. If you turn around right before the end it is all for naught. Like, for example, marriage. If you start to do what YOU want simply bc YOU want to do that, you risk to lose everything.
One of the most iconic couple i've ever read.

What about Hades and Persephone? Their love story was beautiful
+Jasmine Fantasy yeah, being basically imprisoned in hades' realm is goals haha. she wanted to get out, remember? but she ate the pomegranate seeds so she had to stay till mum n hades had an agreement
In the version of this story that my mother always told me, Orpheus resists temptation to look back all the way up to the world of the living. However, upon stepping out into the light, he turns around to see Eurydice, only to realise that SHE has NOT finished the climb yet, having been a few steps behind him. So she is thrown back to Hades.
A small difference, but I've always preferred it because it strengthens the tragedy of the story, and that even though Orpheus did all as he had been instructed, there was no possibility for bringing the dead back.
@Idk what my name should be, okay
So Apollo prevented his daughter?
@Idk what my name should be, okay
I meant that Apollo never wanted his daughter, Eurydice married to another man.

This was so beautiful. And I am in love with the narrator's voice...it's so soothing
I recently watched a movie called Portrait of a Lady on Fire and at one point they read this story and then they try to get the meaning behind it. One of them said that Orpheus should have trusted more and shouldn’t have looked back even in temptation. The other said that maybe Orpheus meant to look back not because of love but because of poetry. And the other said that maybe it was Eurydice who told Orpheus to turn around...it was something like that, I don’t exactly remember how they said it lol but it left me thinking a lot and then the end of the movie came and I cried waterfalls this time:’(
AND TURN AROUND when Marianne was leaving
Ana Antonijevic ugh ik that part was perfect

He made the poet's choice, not the lover's. :) And oh, "Turn around." That moment from the movie will never escape my heart.

But yeah, poor Persephone. (Unless you prefer the more modern interpretations, like me, where she did eventually fall in love with Hades)
Persephone did fall in love with Hades in most of the stories of mythology
No need to feel sorry
In most version of the myth, Persephone did fall in love with Hades and their relationship was really chill

He should've held Eurydice's hand when they walked out of the underworld. That way he would've known that she was behind him.
He wasn't allowed to hold her though..it was another condition hades gave him
@@BaboFighting he wasn't allowed to touch to, look at, talk to or even make a noise that she could return to prove she was there.
@Hunter Velinov all he had to do was follow the directions. It isn't Hades being cruel when Orpheus turned to look back. (Now whoever sent the snake to bite her in the first place is a different story.)

They just won everything tonight! The show is gonna raise all prices so no going for me 😂
Amy Elkins Well, technically they won 8 Tony's out of the 14 they were nominated for.
Yeah I was exaggerating but Hamiltons prices as well were raised after they won, so I don't expect myself to afford going to this one, even tho I would love too!
hadestown is a good show but Beetlejuice 100% deserved to win for lighting and set design. they changed the ENTIRE SET 3 times. they have a literal SNAKE on stage. the tonys just hates comedies for no reason
Not everyone. I never heard of it before reading the comments section.
What if Hades and Persephone knew that Orpheus would look back, yet also knew that the Maenads jealous of such a man never loving them, would return Orpheus to Eurydices by returning him to the underworld? This would give the underworld a small speck of color and beauty in an otherwise sea of grey. Judging by how moved they were from his love for her? It would have pleased them to have him within the Underworld.
Knowing that by doing this, it wouldn't violate the natural order of death, and would return him to his one true love at the same time. What if by doing this, the Gods granted him exactly what he wanted: To spend eternity with the love of his life, as I doubt he'd care where he was, as long as he was with her, and she with him. Plus, the underworld gets to see happiness in an otherwise unhappy place.
Sure, it's mythology but that's how I like to think of it. I'm a sucker for happy endings.
That's a great approach.
Hades is actually the nicest of all gods fundementally speaking
@@radityakevin6352 Except for the kidnapping stuff, but yeah. Both of his brothers have done more messed up things.

1 year and a few months ago, I read this myth and I immediately knew I want to learn to play an instrument. The violin came to my mind and it felt perfect.
At the end of that summer, I picked up violin.
Now I can play a few pieces and I'm as excited as I was in the first place. My dream is to become a soloist.
I know, there is a long and hard way to go, but I'm happy that I chose it and I'm ready for it. It's a beautiful journey, and it all started thanks to my teacher who recommended us to read this myth...

Don’t ask why, brother, don’t ask when
With that kind of grief, I'm sure Orpheus' last thought as the women killed him was, "Finally... I'll see Eurydice in a moment." He would have been looking forward to it.
"Kill me faster please. I haven't wished to live for years."
I think he would have probably ended up in a different part of the underworld for having killed himself or something. (Take that with a grain of salt though.)
LOL!!!!!
Geminisign123 no im pretty sure youre right
Philia Z, when he tried to, the things he was using to kill himself wouldn't let him. Like if he tried to jump off a cliff, the wind would carry him away safely.
It's a tale of a love that never dies...
Love how Hades, the video game, presented their story
I see this more of a tragic story than a love story. The Greeks prefer tragic love stories a lot, a lot. Seldomly, if ever, the couple is just right and consenting to each other, and fate/gods are merciful to the lovers in Ancient Greek stories.
Yeah. Let's see, which stories actually ended up okay...
Perseus and Andromeda
Psyche and Eros (after a bunch of suffering)
Apollo and Cyrene (well I mean they broke up but Apollo gave Cyrene one last gift which was to turn her into a water nymph so that she could enjoy a longer and happier life)
I think that's about it. At least out of the ones I know. :/
Heracles (or Hercules) and however the girl was called. But yep, very, very few.
Daniel Sarabia Didn't Heracles's love story end up as a tragedy too? Hera made Heracles go mad and kill his first wife (Megara) and children, so then he had to do the 10+2 labours to make up for it. Then there was Deianeira, his last wife as a mortal who unintentionally poisoned him by putting centaur blood in his clothes, thinking it was a love potion. Heracles let himself die on a funeral pyre and became a god (and then married Hebe, goddess of youth), but when Deianeira found out what she did, she killed herself. :/
Ancient Greek were all about catharsis.
I agree. I feel a lot better after reading Greek tragedies. Not because I like suffering, but I am able to experience it in a safer way and emphasize. That allows me to bear through some sufferings in my life
