The setting of the story of Orpheus is the Underworld. Although the story started at the land of the
living where Orpheus and Eurydice married, most of the story happened in the Underworld where
Orpheus tried to return Eurydice back to life by the use of his remarkable musical talent. He was also
able to stop the people found in the Underworld from doing their divine punishment.

The Characters

and voice.

4. Aristaeus

A shepherd who fell in love with Eurydice at first sight

5. Hades

thirst and hunger never satisfied

10. Ixion

A mythological character who was punished by Zeus to be tied in a never-ending fiery wheel because of
his attempt of seducing Hera

11. the daughters of Danaus

The daughters of Danaus killed their husbands the first night they got married to them. As punishment
in Tartarus, they were cursed to fill a tub with water. However, the tub was leaking and so their
punishment was everlasting

12. Sisyphus

Sisyphus punishment in the underworld was to push a boulder up an endless mountain

The conflicts in the story of Orpheus are:

1. Orpheus vs. Nature, I think, since he could not accept the death of Eurydice, even if
death is a natural process, and even tried to reverse it. This is in connection to:
2. Orpheus vs. Himself. He was troubled, and insecure, which led to him turning around
to look for Eurydice, and her staying in the underworld. In the end, I believe he was still
in conflict, because he could not be at peace with the consequences of his actions.

3. Orpheus vs. Hades was also a conflict. Hades, after all, gave him the test not to look
back. This was also a trial that Orpheus had to overcome.
