Figure in this songOrpheus
The myth, as it's usually told
Orpheus, After
After he lost Eurydice a second time, Orpheus wandered Thrace in grief and would not love again. In most tellings, the Maenads, the frenzied followers of Dionysus, tore him apart, and his head floated down the river Hebrus still singing. Everyone tells the story up to the moment he turned around. Almost nobody tells what came after.
What the song hears
The reframe
Everyone tells the story up to the moment he turned around. This is what he did with the rest of his life.
