 * He played the harp
 * Father named Apollo
 * Had a wife named Eurydice
 * His wife was riding on a sleeping snake one day and he woke up and bit her
 * She died later from the poison
 * Orpheus went down to Hades to bring her back
 * Got to the gate and 3-headed dog named Cerberos wouldn't let him by until he played the harp
 * Orpheus played for Hades and he told him to take her and don't turn around to look at her until they reach their own front door
 * So they both left the cave and went home. But he turned around and she began to fade away.
 * Orpheus wouldn't marry another girl
 * So they cut his head off and threw it down the river
