How does orpheus lost eurydice the second time summary?
Orpheus went to the Underworld and charmed Persephone (the wife of Hades) with his singing and she persuaded Hades to let Orpheus take Eurydice back to the world of the living. Hades however wasn't so amenable and he place a condition on the deal that 'Orpheus must not look back until he has succeeded in returning the both of them to the light of day.' Well, as Eurydice was only freshly dead the snake bite on her foot was still sore and she lagged behind. As Orpheus was approaching the exit the worry that Eurydice was not behind finally got to him and he turned and looked. At that the demons of hell dragged her back down.
How was orpheus determined to get eurydice back?
He vowed to get her back and in so doing, went down to the underworld. He was an excellent lyre player and was worthy of the muses. Supposedly his playing could make rocks cry (from joy, not pain!) He played his lyre for Hades and Hades was moved enough to agree to let Orpheus take his beloved Eurydice back above ground-with one little catch. Orpheus could not look back as he exited the Underworld to look at Eurydice or else she would remain forever in the Underworld. Joyfully, he led Eurydice to the entrance of the Underworld, but right before he came above ground, he looked back at Eurydice. She was forced to remain in the Underworld and Orpheus later died. (I know it had to do something with female wood-somethings attacking him, but I don't remember...)
What is the fate of Orpheus and Eurydice?
Eurydice died from a snake bite while trying to escape from a Satyr. Orpheus was so distraught, he only played the most heart-wrenching music. At the behest of.. well... everyone, he traveled to the underworld to ask Hades for her back. Hades was a jealous guardian of his subjects, but Orpheus's music softened his black heart. He was allowed to take Eurydice back on one condition; that he must travel with her all the way back to the surface without looking upon her face. They were very near one of the entrances to the Underworld when Orpheus, unable to contain himself, looked back over his shoulder just in time to see Eurydice disappear back to Elyseum. After this Orpheus only played melancholy music. One day, he was stumbled upon by some Ciconian women (sometimes called Baccanites) who attempted to rape him. He shoved off their advances and when they tried to stone him, the stones refused to hit him because he played such stirring music. Eventually, they tore him to pieces. His Lyre was placed in the sky as the constellation Lyra.

Who is the husband of Eurydice?
In the classical story of Eurydice (a wood nymph and daughter of the god Apollo), her husband is Orpheus. The story goes that on their wedding day, Eurydice stepped on a viper and died, so Orpheus played a song so moving that all of the deities and nymphs told him to go to the underworld to retrieve Eurydice. He played before the god of the underworld (Hades) and his wife (Persephone) and was allowed to take Eurydice back to the land of the living.
Who was Eurydice?
Eurydice was the beloved wife of Orpheus, the singer. His love and ardence for his wife was such great and lofty that when Eurydice died, Orpheus went to Hades, the Netherworld to bring her back to life and home. Hades, the Lord of the Netherworld and his wife, Persephone, touched and enchanted by the beauty, melody and sweetness of his songs decided to let him take back Eurydice alive, on the one condition that once they give her back to him, he must walk in front and never look back, till they pass the outer bounds of the Netherworld or Eurydice will have to return permanently to the underworld and forever lost to him and he, Orpheus will fall to pieces. "Don't look back," Eurydice pleaded him. So thus they went off, Orpheus in front and Eurydice behind. But after a distance, his impatience and anxiety tempted Orpheus to look back once to see whether the Netherworld King's promise was real and being kept, as it was unique and unprecedented, and also to check whether Eurydice was really following or was it all a dream. The instant he looked back, Eurydice dropped a tear and saying "good bye dear, forever", vanished from his sight, returning permanently to the netherworld. Depressed and lost, Orpheus walked away, dropped a tear and fell to pieces.

Why did orpheus look back?
Orpheus looked back because he doubted that Eurydice was following him as they made their way out of the Underworld, despite being told not to. This act of doubt and lack of faith in the instructions given to him ultimately led to him losing Eurydice forever.
