In many fictional things is where heartbreaking tales happen. This particular story is a Greek Myth. Greek myths have quite a few devistating love tales as this one is, one character is left heartbroken.
This story showed me that the topic heartbreak happened even in the myths of one of the famous types of histories in the world.
In this myth, who ever wrote it down for the history of the greeks, used the fact that Orpheus was so in love with Eurydice that he went down to the depths of the underworld to see if he can rescue her. Orpheus was told by Hades that if he looked at Eurydice before they made it out of the underwolrd that she could leave. The author states that Orpheus caught just a glimpse of her and she was sent back to the underworld. Because Orpheus was so heartbroken he plays his music grieving over his dead love. The big thing that the author was getting accross was the fact that he couldn't look at her at all, even if it was just even a glimpse and on accedent, that she would not be able to leave the under world.
