The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is the ultimate tragic love story. It is perhaps one of the most famous Greek myths, and the greatest artists have composed masterpieces to honour these two great lovers who lost their chance at reunion. The earliest account comes from Ibycus (circa 530 BC), a Greek lyric poet.

This short story is a mixture of the various existing versions, presenting the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in all its details, all the way to Orpheus' death at the hands of the Bacchantes.

This story could have been embellished with dialogue between the characters and much more imagery. This is essentially the outline of a story but without the story. If you want a quick and concise just the facts version of Greek Myth then look no further but something will be lost along the way. This author also did the King Midas story and the Hercules story and all of the other ones are exactly the same, incredibly shortened with just the facts. Think about the twelve trials of Hercules and how condensed it would have to be to fit all of them within an eleven minute short story. To some degree it's a disservice to actual Greek myth but because all the facts are still there I gave it a higher rating.

A soulless husk of Greek myth: this is the cliff notes version for Greek Mythologies.
