<P> A short time after this ominous prophecy, Eurydice was wandering in the forest with the Nymphs, when Aristaeus, a shepherd, saw her and was beguiled by her beauty . He made advances towards her and began to chase her when she attempted to flee . As Eurydice sprinted through the forest, she managed to escape him, but was tragically bitten by a snake and died instantly . </P> <P> Orpheus sang his grief with his lyre and managed to move everything living or not in the world; both humans and gods were deeply touched by his sorrow and grief . </P> <P> Apollo then advised his son to descend to Hades and see his wife . Any other mortal would have died, but Orpheus, protected by the gods, went to Hades and arrived at the infamous Stygian realm, passing by ghosts and souls of people unknown . He also managed to charm Cerberus, the monster known to have three heads . Orpheus presented himself in front of the god of the Underworld Hades (Pluto) and his wife Persephone . </P> <P> Orpheus played his lyre, melting even Hades' cold heart . Hades told Orpheus that he could take Eurydice with him but under one condition; Eurydice would follow him while walking out to the light from the caves of the Underworld, but he should not look at her before coming out to the light because he would lose her forever and ever . If Orpheus was patient enough he would have Eurydice as a normal woman again by his side . </P>
