Interview with Eurydice
Shmoop investigators recently discovered that the gods of ancient Greece actually invented Twitter—who would have guessed?—and they've only recently allowed mortals to use it. Below, you will find a thread on Eurydice's account, which documents the entire tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. So, you tell us: is it myth or reality?

Today's the day I marry Orpheus. How could I be so lucky?! #ilovemyboo
Epic Lady Calliope
You're beautiful! Can't wait to be your mother-in-law. Orpheus is a lucky boy.
Lyreboy Orpheus
So lucky. You are perfect, Eurydice.
Sureshot Eros
Looks like I did a pretty good job this time, huh? #iknowirock

I think this one was my idea. #iknowirock

A little nervous... I wish my birth tree could uproot itself and be here to hold my hand. #freakingout

You are my spirit, Eurydice. We're always together. You're the best dryad a tree could ask for. I'm crying sappy tears right now! I love you!

I'm married! It's done! I'm so happy! Orpheus is playing his lyre! Everybody's dancing! Nymphs! Satyrs! Gods! Goddesses! Animals! Rocks! TREES!

This. Is. A. Serious. P.A.R.T.Y. #lovinglife
Lyreboy Orpheus
Every song's for you, Eurydice.

What happened?! It's so dark. I'm on the bank of a river... a swampy river. Who are all these people? Wait.. .are they ghosts? Am I dead? NO! What happened? What happened? I got married, and I was sooo happy. And then I was dancing? Picking flowers? Was there a satyr? Aristaeus? Was I chased? I can't remember... WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?!?! #helpme

You got bit by a snake and died. Painfully. Insert cackle. #stinkstobeyou

There's no need to be mean about it. You Fates are so cruel.
Lyreboy Orpheus
I'm coming for you, Eurydice. I played a song so sad that the gods and animals and rocks and trees cried. The gods told me to come for you, and I'm coming. We'll prove it for good: love conquers all! #ilovemyboo
Tree_Hugger_3 Eurydice
I love you, Orpheus. Nothing can keep us apart!
Sureshot Eros
Now that's what I call determination.

I'm crying. I'm really crying right now.

Is it possible that Charon, the Boatman, just tried to get my number? I'm in Hell! #helpme
Dark King Hades
No, it's Hades. Don't mix your mythologies. #itshadesnothell
Tree_Hugger_3 Eurydice
Hurry, Orpheus. I'm miserable without you. I need your music in my life.
Lyreboy Orpheus
I'm so close. I just put Cerberus to sleep with my special sleepy dog lyre song. P.S. Charon tried to get my number, too.
Boatman Charon
What's so wrong with me? #lookingforlove
Tree_Hugger_3 Eurydice
Success! Orpheus played a song so beautiful that Persephone and even Hades cried. Hades is letting me go back to the land of the living with Orpheus, as long as he doesn't look back at me until we step into the sunlight. Easy, right?
Scissor_Sister Atropos
We'll see about that.
Tree_Hugger_3 Eurydice
I can almost see the sun! We're so close! ☺
Lightbright Apollo
Yay, me! #iknowirock
Eternal Flame Helios
NO ME! #iknowirock
Tree_Hugger_3 Eurydice
Orpheus looked back. Sadness. Immense. All consuming. Sadness.
Deathitself Thanatos
This even makes me sad. #evendeathissad

Insert cackle.
