Orpheus and Eurydice

They had a love child, Orpheus, who grew up in the leafy forests and evergreen mountains of Thrace. Now Orpheus was a child blessed by the Fates with many gifts and talents. He lis- tened to the wind, the waves, the rustling leaves, the birdsong, and all the secret sounds of nature and turned ev- erything into enchanting melo- dies. His music brimmed with light and entranced both ani- mals and humans, for it healed all sorrows.
