Eurydice - Mythology. Greek A beautiful Dryad (tree Nymph) who became the wife of Orpheus. While pursued by Aristaeur, she was bitten by a serpent and died. Stricken with grief, Orpheus charmed his way into the Underworld (1) and persuaded Hades to release his wife. Seduced by the beautiful music of Orpheus, Hades let Eurydice go, on the condition that Orpheus would not look back to see if she was following. The pair had almost reached the entrance to the world when Orpheus looked back. Eurydice disappeared instantly and he never saw her again. The tragic story of Orpheus and Eurydice is the subject of many plays and operas.
