an Orpheus that doesn't turn isn't an Orpheus that travels to underworld to save the woman she loves. To love someone is to turn around

I wouldn't look back. The whole 'to look back is to love' is contradictory. It was a test of love and trust. Do you love that person enough to trust they'd follow you? To look back is to doubt their love for you.

In some versions of the story, it took YEARS for Orpheus to reach the exit of the Underworld. Years without knowing if your lover is still here. He never stood a chance

Your not just not hearing their footsteps.
Your h3aring them beg, scream, and wail at you to turn around, your hearing thousands of years of pain in voice as they beg you ti turn around and look at them, your hearing them scream in pain calling you names about not being able to look at them.
(Ps I use them because Eurydice isnt a female for everyone, this should be blatantly obvious.)

AnxietySoup :
as likely as it is that I would I'm still saying I wouldn't. The gods rarely lie as far as I'm aware, so if a god tells me "don't turn around" I'M TRYING MY DARN BEST TO NOT TURN AROUND

Can someone explain this to me cause I’m confused. Couldn’t he have just waited until they were out of the underworld and then he could’ve looked back? Why did he look back before they made it out 😥

To me, he absolutely trusts her but he doesn't trust hades to keep his word and that is why he turned around.

Every step forward is already a glance back. The Orpheus who never looks back is an Orpheus that never went down into the underworld in the first place.

It isn't because I don't trust her but because love requires Certainty

Of course you'd look back! You'd help her up if she had fallen, needed you or was lost. An Orpheus that doesn't look back, sadly, wouldn't be leading Eurydice out of the underworld in the first place

heryyy :
man😢 i'm such a simp, If I cant heard my Eurydice footstep following me, I would forget all the rules and turn around immediately, I will be that kind of orpheus who would keep going back to underworld a thousand times and yet still make the same mistake😓

if I had gone down to the underworld to go save my love, and then the god of the underworld says I can take her back as long as I'm not looking back.. the moment I stopped hearin her footsteps, I'm turning around

Well I’ve never been able to walk through somewhere I feel unsafe without looking back at the loved one walking behind me, so I dont imagine I could manage it in the literal underworld

uwu :
I think looking back or not is just a matter of self control thou. Why r we equating love with losing self control? You can devastatingly love someone to the point of devising and following through a plan of retrieving them from the underworld no? Like looking back can only sooth your emotion and harm your loved one’s chance of living again. Wouldn’t you have that fear in mind before looking back? Thinking about what is best for that person, not you?

I cant even walk more than a half block without looking back to make sure my family is still there safe behind me when we leave the house, I could never walk out of the underworld without looking back for them
