Answer: these are the main points

Step-by-step explanation:

Orpheus and Eurydice's marriage is doomed from the beginning. Hymen, the Greek god of marriage, doesn't bless their wedding, and Eurydice dies soon after the nuptials.

Devastated, Orpheus travels to the Underworld and make a deal with Hades: if Orpheus can walk to the surface without looking back, Eurydice will return to life. Orpheus fails.

Orpheus goes mad with grief and is murdered by a group of maidens. Deaths finally reunites him with Eurydice.
