@gallochii4raa._: In Greek mythology, Orpheus was a gifted musician and poet, famous for playing the lyre so beautifully that animals, trees, and even rocks were moved by his music. He fell deeply in love with Eurydice, and they were soon married. Shortly after their wedding, Eurydice was bitten by a snake and died. Heartbroken, Orpheus decided to travel to the Underworld to bring her back. Using the power of his music, he charmed the rulers of the Underworld, Hades and Persephone. Moved by his love and sorrow, they agreed to let Eurydice return to the world of the living on one condition: Orpheus had to walk in front of her and not look back until they had both reached the surface. As they were nearing the exit, Orpheus became anxious and uncertain that Eurydice was still following him. Unable to resist, he turned around to look at her. At that very moment, Eurydice disappeared forever, returning to the Underworld. Orpheus was left alone, grieving the loss of his beloved for the rest of his life. #fyp#orpheusandeurydice#greekmythology#greece

But isn’t it love not to turn around because you never doubt the other person being there (no hate just my opinion 🫶)

To look back is to love. To never look back is to love also.

if i were eurydice, if he didnt look back at me all those times we walk back from the underworld, i wouldve felt he didnt love me because it felt like he didnt miss me at all and he wasnt that excited to see me again after being apart from him for a while after dying. thats why orpheus' act of looking back at eurydice is an enough symbol of his love because love should be felt like that

The deal was to not look back to not lose her. Should his fear of losing Eurydice forever by looking back outweigh his doubt that she was even following him?

may I ask, if turning back was against their deal, then why did you say "love is to turn around"? I just don't know this story 😭

The story of Orpheus can be understood as a metaphor for the way we live with uncertainty. When we love someone, we can never completely know what exists inside their heart. Someone can tell us they love us, show us affection, respect us, and make us feel safe, but we can never have absolute certainty that they will never lie, betray us, or change. At some point, love requires trust. Not blind trust, and not ignoring obvious evidence, but accepting that complete certainty about another person is impossible. The same thing applies to life itself. We constantly look for proof, signs, meanings, and demonstrations. We want certainty about religion, faith, the afterlife, our future, our careers, and our dreams. We want to know that there is a paradise after death, that we will become successful, that our ambitions will eventually happen. When things don’t happen as quickly as we hoped, we can mistake the lack of evidence for proof that they will never happen. But life doesn’t always give us proof before we have to continue walking. This doesn’t mean that we should ignore reality or become blind to things that are clearly toxic or harmful. If there is evidence in front of us, we should acknowledge it. But when we genuinely don’t know something, the honest answer isn’t necessarily “no.” Sometimes it’s simply, “I don’t know.” That is what makes uncertainty so difficult: human beings naturally want certainty, but life rarely provides absolute certainty. We have to make choices, love people, pursue dreams, have faith, and continue moving forward without knowing exactly how everything will turn out. In that sense, Orpheus’s journey becomes a metaphor for life itself. He has to walk through the darkness without being able to see Eurydice. He has to trust without having complete proof. And perhaps that is what life asks of all of us.

An Orpheus who won't look back, is an Orpheus who wouldn't go to the underworld in the first place. To love, is to look back. Hades gave him that challenge knowing if it was him, he wouldn't have suceeded.
