Nor Shoult Thou Turn by Andrew Bond

Inspired by the greek classic  about Eurydice and Orpheus as Orpheus heads into Hades to bring the love of his life back to Oil on canvas by Andrew Bond

The ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice concerns the fateful love of Orpheus of Thrace, son of Apollo and the muse Calliope, for the beautiful Eurydice (from Eurudike, "she whose justice extends widely"). It may be a late addition to the Orpheus myths, as the latter cult-title suggests those attached to Persephone. It may have been derived from a legend in which Orpheus travels to Tartarus and charms the goddess Hecate
