It's sad because... Orpheus doubted because he loved Eurydice THAT much. He loved her so damn much he was terrified of the idea of Hades lying to him and nobody being there,"why doesn't he want me to look? Why can't I hear her? Is she here? What if she isn't?! It's the God of the Underworld himself,who says he can't trick me?!" and so he looked,because he needed to know she was there,he needed to see her there following him,Hades' word wasn't enough. He was doubtful and fearful because he loved her,no other reason.
and the doubt was turned to joy to see her there... and then to horror. because he has doubted her love. Before he lost her. Orpheus could have the high mountains and trees bow to him because they were greatful to hear his performance. His music could make a momentary spring. the flowers flourish and grow. But he lost that when he lost her. His music was still amazing but when he lost her... he was very hurt.
I’ve seen many interpretations of why Orpheus turned such as anger, fear, excitement, or an outside force but the one that always sold me was his love for her. All the other symptoms or causes can be brushed off but he simply wasn’t allowed to look at the Woman he loved above all else in Life.
"YOU FIND YOUR VOICE IMMEDIATELY! YOU HAVE ONE HUNDRED YEARS AND NOT A MOMENT MORE!" I had to pause and bust a gut then and there. This is Lord Hades in a nutshell. An incredibly decent guy under all the grumpiness. I'd love to see him meet Granny Weatherwax.
...do you really think he would be able to outsmart the witchiest witch? Nah, that fluffy heart of his cannot do anything to the woman who has to be always on top.
Ah, this is interesting. I'm a huge fan of the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice, and I never really thought about the fact that, when Orpheus died, Eurydice would probably have been mad at him when he arrived in the Underworld
I mean the line in the Metamorphoses about her thoughts on it was "Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?"
@@therainbowwillow4453 Bit by a snake, dies, husband comes to get you, fails the test, you go back to the underworld. Yeah, I see that but in the stories he turns around usually for three reasons: 1. he is out of the Underworld and turns to see her 2. she stumbles and he turns to help her and 3. he is overcome with fear and doubt and wants to make sure she's there. The last one is admittedly dumb but all of them are related to just how much Orpheus loved Eurydice. It can also be attributed to most of the gods being lying tricksters. Also, walk down a long hall with no footsteps or proof that the love of your life is behind you and try not to doubt that she's really there.
@@alisonoconnor6864 Fair point! They certainly love each other. I’d still be a tad bitter if my husband did any of the above, of course. But... Orpheus is hard to stay mad at.

I feel like there's an interesting parallel that can be drawn between Achilles/Patroclus and Orpheus/Eurydice. In both cases, one died (Patroclus and Eurydice) and the other (Achilles and Orpheus) was left to grieve but never got over it. In the after life, the lovers are separated, also because of the grieving partner (O and A) who now has to serve Hades, plus the one who died first (P and E) feels like they were let down by the one they loved because of one fundamental flaw(Achilles and his pride, Orpheus and his doubts). They're disappointed in them, so when Zagreus talks to them about their lost lover they become defensive and ask you to tell the other "they're perfectly fine", which is a lie but is typical angry/hurt ex behavior, while their former partner is regretful and ashamed.
It's remarkable how much my heart ached for Eurydice with the simple act of showing up at her room and hearing her _not singing_ for once. And then she admits that she's wrapped up in thoughts of Orpheus and doesn't know what to do. That moment really hit me with how much she still loves him.
@@RiskoPlexus yeah, I always thought that VAs were amazing but lately I've been looking more into the Voice acting in some of my favourite games and I have a newfound uter respect and admiration for the VAs, in any language, it just adds so much to the experience, it's awesome.
So, funny tidbit about that whole thing with Zagreus continually running into plot important NPCs (aside from the obvious video game answer): In Greek mythology, Zagreus is a god associated with rebirth, life forces, (both of these connect him to his ability to resurrect from the dead and his connection to blood), hunting and mysteries. In regards to hunting, I think in this case it's less literal in the vein that Artemis has hunting as her domain and more in the sense of seeking or pursuing answers and goals, which also ties into his association with mysteries. Zagreus keeps running into Eurydice, Sisyphus, Patroklus etc. because whether he knows it or not, his godly powers allow him to seek them out and find them, even in the almost endlessly vast Underworld.
@@lyddiharvey yep!! Hades and Persephone had a number of children actually, but they were never particularly popular, it seems. And aren't really considered "canon" (to use a more modern term). Zagreus was the most popular one I believe (especially now) but if I remember correctly, they were also a few stories/myths of a daughter too.
@@lyddiharvey the best part is 100% that the hymn of Zagreus (that Dio and Zag trick Orpheus into thinking is real) is actually one version of the character.

@@lonelyronin2428 That's, quite literally, how Orpheus's myth's main plot point got started. He played a song so _sad_ that everyone just went "go get her you sadboy". To note, he nearly did succeed.
Videogames can teach you important skills and information. Hades for instance teaches you that good connections to those further up in bureaucracy can be invaluable.
Dear god, Orpheus looks like the most edgy thing on earth. Hades and his family look cheerful in comparison! I get he's sad, but he went all out. Even the lyre has a sad face on it. The hair is great though. He looks like human equivalent of that song "Let her go". 🎶 only when you love her will you let her go / only when you love her will it start to snow/ only when you love her will you let her go 🎶 edit: AWWW, GIVE HIM IS LOVE BACK! HE'S SO LITTLE AND SAD!! Eurydice built like and african plant goddess, damn. I can see why he's so sad, I'd miss her too!
Well he was in a depression for failing the one chance to get his love back and then a bunch of angry women ripped him to pieces. So when he came to the Afterlife and still couldn't find her, that probably would be the final straw to there being any chance to fix him at all.
ahhhhh the thing that brought me to play Hades the game in the first place I really want to draw an animatic of Hadestown with these designs, because honestly, Orpheus one love
I have loving this story and I'm right at the start of this video in terms of gameplay. I almost waited to see for myself but couldn't help it. I'm so tearfully happy they got back together and seemed happy again. You almost can't be mad at Eurydice because her husband had one job and one chance to get her out after her untimely death ( most stories say it was a viper bite on their wedding day). But Orpheus looked back because he loved her and was worried he had been tricked by Hades (none leave here, alive or dead).
eurydice's voice and the way she calls zag "hon" has me ON THE FLOOR. no matter how many times i hear her voice, i fall in love with her again every time. no wonder orpheus was so devastated to have lost her!
just because im so sick of people typing all up and down wrong shit because they dont wanna use google... orpheus is a dude The voice actor is a dude (Michael Ailshie) and the singing for orpheus is done by The Same VA for Zagreus and Skelly, Darren Korb
I’m imagining the Three Diamonds used for Orpheus’ Contract are like the Silmarils. You’d think diamonds would be common in the Underworld of all places
isn't it a little cruel of Eurydice to be so unforgiving of Orpheus for messing up? Like of course anyone would be desperate to see if their loved one really is following them and they havent just been tricked...but idk. I guess I was surprised at the way they wrote Eurydice as someone angsty even though Orpheus was just trying his best lmao and for nothing in return
I guess from Eurydice's point of view Orpheus turning around was a sign that he didn't trust her to follow him, rather than Orpheus not trusting Hades to keep his word. (As well as the whole "you had one job" reason)
@@eccentric_creampuff4983 Wasnt she already dead? So she just lost the chance to come back. And he literally went to hell and back for her... I also think she was a bit too harsh on him.
@@bunnys9704 already dead. In the myth, on their wedding day, some dude whose name I forgot was drunk and wanted them muse cheeks. After he confessed his love, She ran away, the guy chasing her. She stepped on a poisonus snake, got bit, and died. We know the rest. Didn't know about the eternal servitude. The story I heard, after he failed, he went around in eternal sad boi hours, making everything cry with his sad songs. While he was singing, some of Dionysus's butt naked lady followers approached him. They were getting lit in the forest, and extremely drunk. They tried to get Orpheus to join them, but he was too sad, and ignored them. They got pissed and attacked him, ripping him apart. They chucked his head into a river, where it continued to sing. Finally it ended up under a bush, still singing, which is how the muses, one them his mother, found it. They found the rest of him, and held his funeral. Orpheus, now dead meets Eurydice in the underworld and are reunited in everlasting love in death, and live happily edgy after.
The sad optimist and the bold pessimist. The singer looking up at his inspiration looking down on him. The emo introvert and the school delinquent. Truly a love story for the ages. (Also, I think we all know what she meant by catching up 😏 *cough cough seeds planted)
When I was 11, I did a play of Orpheus and Eurydice, it *would’ve* been good, expect me and Orpheus were 11, and asked the director if she could take all of the romance parts out.
Not necessarily I think, you just have to keep interacting with both of them, keep giving them nectar, regain access to the Admin chambers and wait till Nyx tells you the location of the Contract.
What’s funny is Orpheus didn’t look back just once, he looked back at least twice (I think I’ve heard tellings where it was three, but my memory of the story is a bit groggy). It was a totally fair game And like, if he really had no faith in Eurydice, he could have just called out to her. The only rule was that he couldn’t look back, but nope he looked back twice in a row.
Why he is depressed: Orpheus and Eurydice story is tragedy. Eurydice died after bit by snake and Orpheus went to underworld for her. His song so slap and touched, Charon gave him free ride, Cerberus fell asleep to his song and he made underworld king and queen cried. Hades then gave him a chance to reunite with Eurydice and let him go with one condition: never look back until you get out of underworld or Eurydice will return. She would follow from behind. Sadly, he did look back after got close to surface. He's so depressed, he did multiple suicide attempt but everything was failure. He only died after angry nymph who got jealous ripped him off.
I find it odd that Orpheus is voiced by a Woman, wasn´t he a man in the tale? Also after Seeing the placeholder sprite for Nyx I find her actual design a bit too extravagant

Not necessarily I think, you just have to keep interacting with both of them, keep giving them nectar, regain access to the Admin chambers and wait till Nyx tells you the location of the Contract.
What’s funny is Orpheus didn’t look back just once, he looked back at least twice (I think I’ve heard tellings where it was three, but my memory of the story is a bit groggy). It was a totally fair game
And like, if he really had no faith in Eurydice, he could have just called out to her. The only rule was that he couldn’t look back, but nope he looked back twice in a row.
Love the sidequests
Why does orpheous sound like a depressed girl
Hahah I even thought He's a She at first
I mean wouldn’t you be depressed because of how you sorta... f-d up the one chance to get your dead loved one back to life
Why he is depressed: Orpheus and Eurydice story is tragedy. Eurydice died after bit by snake and Orpheus went to underworld for her. His song so slap and touched, Charon gave him free ride, Cerberus fell asleep to his song and he made underworld king and queen cried. Hades then gave him a chance to reunite with Eurydice and let him go with one condition: never look back until you get out of underworld or Eurydice will return. She would follow from behind. Sadly, he did look back after got close to surface.
He's so depressed, he did multiple suicide attempt but everything was failure. He only died after angry nymph who got jealous ripped him off.
@@marcuz-x5448 not gonna lie. I thought orpheus was eurydice mom or something. Orpheus got that elderly motherly voice and look lol
@@meyeneetuks4680 🤣🤣
Fun fact depending on liniage retellings, these two are quite possibly half siblings, as some depict the muses as all daughters of apollo.
How do you start the conversation with Nyx that shows where the folder is because I’ve done everything I can and it doesn’t pop up
Just to be sure just continue talking to Orpheus and Eurydice whenever you get the chance and give them nectar too
Eurydice the tsundere
I had the talk with Nyx but didn’t go to the lounge yet, now I can’t find it. Did I mess up? :/
what can't you find?
@@marcuz-x5448 The contract that Nyx told you about
@@lankthedank6931 oh that one, you have to access the admin chambers you'l find the contract there.
@@marcuz-x5448 I already did. They don’t appear.
@@lankthedank6931 It has to be there otherwise its probably a bug, or you could check the house contractor maybe its already there ?
Hey how can I contact you to use some of this gameplay footage for a review of the game.
Awesome video. A question though, is Nyx's voice actor also Mara's voice actor from Skyrim?
did i fuck up? im not sure cus i didnt give him a gift when i was done talking to her. and now idk what to do, will i get the chance again?
Sooooo... is there a reason why Orpheus sounds like a girl despite the fact that everyone keeps referring to them as a guy?
Trans
Character design 🤭
both of the voice actors for orpheus are guys
Trans rights
How do people move on?

I find it odd that Orpheus is voiced by a Woman, wasn´t he a man in the tale?
Also after Seeing the placeholder sprite for Nyx I find her actual design a bit too extravagant
He's voiced by a man.
@@fricketyfracktraintrack wow, either my hearing is damaged or that man does his damndest to sound feminine
@@umukzusgelos4834 the dude is also the voice of zagreus
@@Masked.Victim actually, his singing voice is darren
his talking voice is someone else, though i’m pretty sure he’s male
Funny part is, someone in the comments said he looks like a middle aged lesbian aunt XD
Wait... Lernie???
You need to defeat lernie to get the diamonds in order to be able to do stuff like release Orpheus from his contract
Thank fuck for that
but orpheus is a guy
Yeah he is, he just sounds like a girl
Zagreus voice is like fan made amateur.
