Orpheus and eurydice,

2 names that will
always belong together.

even beyond the shadow

16
00:01:45,181 --> 00:01:47,781
Orpheus was the son
of Calliope,

00:01:47,861 --> 00:01:51,821
one of the nine muses
who sang to the gods
on mount Olympus.

18
00:01:51,901 --> 00:01:54,821
She was the muse
of poetry and music.

19
00:01:54,901 --> 00:01:57,581
And her son
became the greatest musician

20
00:01:57,661 --> 00:01:59,741
the world had ever known.

21
00:01:59,821 --> 00:02:01,501
For the sake of his music,

00:02:01,581 --> 00:02:04,581
Jason took orpheus
on the quest
for the golden fleece.

23
00:02:04,661 --> 00:02:07,621

25
00:02:08,901 --> 00:02:10,301
This is a lyre.

28
00:02:13,221 --> 00:02:15,101
Orpheus had a kingdom
in thrace,

29
00:02:15,181 --> 00:02:16,901
in the far north of Greece,

30
00:02:16,981 --> 00:02:20,021
where the olive trees
are bent by the wind.

31
00:02:20,101 --> 00:02:22,101
When he came home
from his travels,

32
00:02:22,181 --> 00:02:23,941
and was once again
among his people,

33
00:02:24,021 --> 00:02:27,781
he sat upon the stones
at the edge of the forest
and played.

34
00:02:27,861 --> 00:02:29,821
It was the beginning
of spring.

And as their bare feet
hit the stones,

41
00:03:08,341 --> 00:03:11,301
you would have said
the stones were moving
as they danced.

42
00:03:11,381 --> 00:03:12,981
Not just the stones.

43
00:03:13,061 --> 00:03:15,701
As the king played on,
his music seemed to weave

44
00:03:15,781 --> 00:03:17,581
into the sounds
of the hillside

45
00:03:17,661 --> 00:03:19,901
as if the birdsong,
and the riverfall,

46
00:03:19,981 --> 00:03:22,781
the goat's bells,
and the wind in the grasses

47
00:03:22,861 --> 00:03:25,421
had been brought into being
by his playing.

49
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:30,021
When orpheus played,
the whole world
wanted to move.

50
00:03:30,101 --> 00:03:31,981
It seemed that the roots
of the trees

51

would haul themselves up
from the earth
and dance to his rhythm.

His music gave them new life.

53

For as he played,
the rain started to fall.

54
00:03:48,901 --> 00:03:51,101
Children clung
to their mother's arms

55
00:03:51,181 --> 00:03:55,261
and whispered persephone,
persephone, persephone.

56
00:03:55,341 --> 00:04:00,021
For while they danced,
the goddess who dances
in the spring came among them.

57
00:04:04,701 --> 00:04:07,421
His music stirred
the natural world

58
00:04:07,501 --> 00:04:09,941
and the earth's sounds
spoke to him.

59
00:04:14,341 --> 00:04:17,861
One day, he was walking
in the wilderness
beyond the farms,

60
00:04:17,941 --> 00:04:21,141
listening to the sound
of the wind in the trees.

And then it was one sound
that drew him.

64

It came from an alder tree.

65
00:05:23,581 --> 00:05:27,221
It was the wood nymph,
eurydice.

66
00:05:27,301 --> 00:05:30,821
And his music had brought her
into the world of men.

of the forest

115

00:10:49,941 --> 00:10:52,101
[Aristaeus]
Bring her back!

183
00:10:52,181 --> 00:10:53,501
Don't let her die.

184
00:10:53,581 --> 00:10:55,781
Help me.
Please, help me.

185
00:10:55,861 --> 00:10:59,501
You. You can do it.
Your music can do anything,
can't it?

186
00:10:59,581 --> 00:11:01,221
Make it bring her back.

187
00:11:01,301 --> 00:11:03,301
Use this to bring her back.

188
00:11:03,381 --> 00:11:04,901
Please, please, you must.

189
00:11:04,981 --> 00:11:06,741
You must help me.

190
00:11:07,701 --> 00:11:11,621
Zeus and the immortals,
hear me!

191
00:11:11,701 --> 00:11:15,101
I, who have calmed the seas

192
00:11:15,181 --> 00:11:17,701
and made rocks
move with my music,

193
00:11:18,781 --> 00:11:21,221
I will charm death himself.

194
00:11:22,621 --> 00:11:25,221
I'll go down to Hades
and bring her back.

195
00:11:25,941 --> 00:11:27,661
Do you hear me?

196
00:11:27,741 --> 00:11:31,981
I will bring her back
from the arms
of death himself!

197
00:11:32,061 --> 00:11:34,141
So armed only with his music,

198
00:11:34,221 --> 00:11:37,861
orpheus went down
into the underworld.

199
00:11:37,941 --> 00:11:41,261
A land from which no one
has ever returned.

200
00:11:44,941 --> 00:11:47,461
There is almost
no sound in Hades.

201
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:49,261
They have a dog there,
don't they?

202
00:11:49,341 --> 00:11:52,661
They have a 3-headed dog,
Cerberus, if you must know.

203
00:11:52,741 --> 00:11:55,581
But this isn't a story
about dogs.

204
00:11:55,661 --> 00:11:57,661
This is the story of orpheus,

205
00:11:57,741 --> 00:12:02,061
who went down
into Hades itself
to bring back his loved one.

206
00:12:02,141 --> 00:12:05,181
He picked his way down
towards the river styx,

207
00:12:05,261 --> 00:12:07,901
the river he must cross
to reach the underworld.

208
00:12:07,981 --> 00:12:10,581
And there below
he saw his wife

209
00:12:10,661 --> 00:12:12,861
walking towards charon,

210
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:14,581
the ferryman of Hades.

211
00:12:16,861 --> 00:12:18,181
One obol.

212
00:12:25,501 --> 00:12:26,701
Drink.

213
00:12:26,781 --> 00:12:29,021
Eurydice! Don't drink.

214
00:12:30,261 --> 00:12:32,901
This is the water of lethe.

215
00:12:32,981 --> 00:12:35,381
The water
that makes you forget.

216
00:12:35,461 --> 00:12:37,661
Everyone must drink it.

217
00:12:37,741 --> 00:12:38,941
It's sweet.

218
00:12:39,021 --> 00:12:41,181
[Orpheus]
Eurydice!

219
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:44,261
Don't you feel
all those painful things

220
00:12:44,341 --> 00:12:45,781
going,

221
00:12:45,861 --> 00:12:47,541
[water rippling]

222
00:12:47,621 --> 00:12:49,181
Going.

223
00:12:49,261 --> 00:12:51,141
Eurydice didn't turn

224
00:12:51,221 --> 00:12:54,341
as the boat drifted off
through the mists.

225
00:12:54,421 --> 00:12:57,541
Orpheus could only wait
for the ferry to return,

226
00:12:57,621 --> 00:13:00,381
knowing there was
no other way across.

227
00:13:00,461 --> 00:13:01,781
One obol.

228
00:13:02,901 --> 00:13:04,661
The crossing is one obol.

229
00:13:05,541 --> 00:13:07,621
No obol, no crossing.

230
00:13:07,701 --> 00:13:10,461

232
00:13:13,541 --> 00:13:14,981

233
00:13:15,061 --> 00:13:16,301
I know.

234
00:13:16,381 --> 00:13:18,381
The souls of the dead
have no weight.

235
00:13:20,621 --> 00:13:23,061
Your hands,
they're warm.

236
00:13:23,141 --> 00:13:25,461
I'm alive.Yes.

237
00:13:25,541 --> 00:13:27,381
Your lips, your skin.

240
00:13:36,901 --> 00:13:38,981
I haven't heard music

241
00:13:39,061 --> 00:13:41,141
for, I don't know,
so long.

242
00:13:45,061 --> 00:13:46,981
Doesn't it soothe you,
eh, sir?

243
00:13:47,501 --> 00:13:49,381
Huh?

244
00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:50,861
[Storyteller]
Reaching the far side
of the river,

245
00:13:50,941 --> 00:13:53,421
orpheus stumbled on
through the cold marshes

246
00:13:53,501 --> 00:13:55,821
with eurydice riding
ahead of him.

247
00:13:55,901 --> 00:13:57,581
Always just out of reach.

248
00:13:57,661 --> 00:14:00,301
He called to her
but as he did so,

249
00:14:00,381 --> 00:14:04,101
the mists swirled back
before his eyes.

250
00:14:04,181 --> 00:14:07,381
And there in front of him
was Hades,

251
00:14:07,461 --> 00:14:09,461
the king of the underworld,

252
00:14:09,541 --> 00:14:12,301
with persephone,
his queen, by his side.

253
00:14:14,821 --> 00:14:18,501
Who comes uninvited
to my kingdom?

254
00:14:19,061 --> 00:14:20,741
I'm orpheus,

255
00:14:20,821 --> 00:14:23,301
king of thrace,
son of Calliope.

256
00:14:23,381 --> 00:14:28,621
And what does king orpheus
seek from Hades?

257
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:31,261
A soul now before you
in judgment,

258
00:14:31,341 --> 00:14:32,861
eurydice, my wife.

259
00:14:34,101 --> 00:14:37,421
No soul returns
from my kingdom.

260
00:14:37,501 --> 00:14:39,661
Love is stronger than death.

261
00:14:39,741 --> 00:14:41,901
[Hades laughing]

262
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:46,501
Nothing is stronger
than death, little musician.

263
00:15:16,661 --> 00:15:18,021
Fear me.

264
00:15:19,621 --> 00:15:23,741
I am the bored audience
at the theater.

265
00:15:23,821 --> 00:15:26,861
A knock at the door
when you least expect it.

266
00:15:28,101 --> 00:15:31,221
I am the one whose name
must not be spoken

267
00:15:31,301 --> 00:15:35,821
for fear I hear it
and sit next to you.

268
00:15:35,901 --> 00:15:39,061
I am the pain in your arm
at 4:00 in the morning,

269
00:15:39,141 --> 00:15:42,181
the headache
that will not shift,

270
00:15:43,461 --> 00:15:46,021
the sour taste in your mouth

271
00:15:46,101 --> 00:15:48,821
of everything you ever did.

272
00:15:51,621 --> 00:15:54,901
I'm waiting, little musician.

273
00:15:54,981 --> 00:15:58,861
And one day,
I shall come for you also.

274
00:15:58,941 --> 00:16:02,141
Then you'll see
your wife once more.

275
00:16:05,221 --> 00:16:07,541
[Sighs]

276
00:16:07,621 --> 00:16:10,861
[Storyteller]
But orpheus would not
give up eurydice.

277
00:16:10,941 --> 00:16:15,061
He played again,
this time to the queen.

278
00:16:23,221 --> 00:16:24,781
He will not listen.

279
00:16:27,181 --> 00:16:29,861
Or if he pretends to listen,
he is lying.

280
00:16:31,461 --> 00:16:34,861
Oh, death cheats, too.

281
00:16:34,941 --> 00:16:38,661
Each year, mankind endures
the winter while I stay here

282
00:16:38,741 --> 00:16:41,061
because he tricked me
long ago.

283
00:16:41,141 --> 00:16:44,461
Even Zeus was powerless
to change it.

284
00:16:44,541 --> 00:16:46,821
He'll trick you,
too, musician.

285
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:50,301
Still orpheus played on,

286
00:16:50,381 --> 00:16:51,861
but the king
of the underworld

287
00:16:51,941 --> 00:16:54,501
was deaf to the beauty
of his music.

288
00:16:57,141 --> 00:17:00,821
Persephone was moved
by an unbearable sadness.

289
00:17:00,901 --> 00:17:03,221
Everything must die, orpheus.

290
00:17:04,741 --> 00:17:07,301
The people we love most
have to die.

291
00:17:07,381 --> 00:17:12,021
Even the rocks,
the earth itself
is eaten away by time.

292
00:17:15,341 --> 00:17:17,621
Everything must die, orpheus.

293
00:17:18,741 --> 00:17:20,381
To live again.

294
00:17:22,461 --> 00:17:24,661
People think of death
like absence.

295
00:17:24,741 --> 00:17:27,021
But absence isn't forever.

296
00:17:27,101 --> 00:17:30,701
Not while there is any life
left at all in the world.

297
00:17:32,101 --> 00:17:35,581
It's only cold on the earth
for 6 months.

298
00:17:35,661 --> 00:17:38,381
Death is unimpressed.

299
00:17:48,021 --> 00:17:51,141
Husband, I pray to you.

300
00:17:51,221 --> 00:17:53,061
I am begging you,

301
00:17:53,141 --> 00:17:55,741
give up this soul to orpheus.

302
00:17:57,581 --> 00:17:59,221
[Laughing]

303
00:18:01,381 --> 00:18:03,381
Very well,

304
00:18:03,461 --> 00:18:05,381
little musician.

305
00:18:05,461 --> 00:18:07,661
Take your bride.

306
00:18:07,741 --> 00:18:10,461
Take her to the upper world.

307
00:18:10,541 --> 00:18:13,901
But always walk ahead of her.

308
00:18:13,981 --> 00:18:18,621
And do not once look back
to see if she is following.

309
00:18:19,661 --> 00:18:22,341
For if you turn
to look at her,

310
00:18:22,421 --> 00:18:24,741
she will be mine once more.

311
00:18:28,101 --> 00:18:29,621
You hear me?

312
00:18:33,821 --> 00:18:35,781
Imagine the love of his life
behind him,

313
00:18:35,861 --> 00:18:37,621
and yet
he must not look at her.

314
00:18:37,701 --> 00:18:40,501
With every step that he took,
he listened.

315
00:18:40,581 --> 00:18:42,701
But the shades of the dead
make no sound.

316
00:18:42,781 --> 00:18:45,101
And he could not hear
her tread behind him.

317
00:18:45,181 --> 00:18:47,661
He walked,
grim as death itself,

318
00:18:47,741 --> 00:18:50,461
on and on through the wastes
of the underworld

319
00:18:50,541 --> 00:18:53,421
towards the 9-looped
river styx.

320
00:18:53,501 --> 00:18:55,461
By the time he reached
charon's boat,

321
00:18:55,541 --> 00:18:59,141
he had started to doubt
that eurydice was behind him.

322
00:18:59,221 --> 00:19:01,701
Don't ask me questions
and don't sing.

323
00:19:02,981 --> 00:19:05,381
They remind me of the world.

324
00:19:05,461 --> 00:19:07,621
I have my duty,
that's enough.

325
00:19:13,381 --> 00:19:15,621
Eurydice.

326
00:19:15,701 --> 00:19:17,141
Give me a sign.

327
00:19:18,101 --> 00:19:19,581
Just breathe,

328
00:19:20,501 --> 00:19:21,981
I can't hear you.

329
00:19:25,021 --> 00:19:26,461
Don't look around!

330
00:19:26,541 --> 00:19:30,141
Oh, how he longed to.
How he longed to.

331
00:19:30,221 --> 00:19:33,741
As he started up
the steep track that leads
back to the world's light,

332
00:19:33,821 --> 00:19:35,581
he kept his eyes
on the ground.

333
00:19:35,661 --> 00:19:37,861
He clenched his fists hard,

334
00:19:37,941 --> 00:19:41,141
and willed himself
not to think of her.
It wasn't far.

335
00:19:41,221 --> 00:19:43,461
Ahead of him,
he could see the daylight.

336
00:19:43,541 --> 00:19:46,541
If only he could believe
that she was behind him.

337
00:19:46,621 --> 00:19:49,261
That silence of her death
was not a real silence,

338
00:19:49,341 --> 00:19:51,901
but had been redeemed
by music.

339
00:19:51,981 --> 00:19:55,141
He was almost
at the entrance of the cave
that leads to Hades

340
00:19:55,221 --> 00:19:57,381
and he could hear the birds
singing outside.

341
00:19:57,461 --> 00:20:00,501
And they walked out
into the sunlight
and were happy ever after.

342
00:20:00,581 --> 00:20:02,301
They didn't. They didn't.

343
00:20:02,381 --> 00:20:03,421
[Sighs]

344
00:20:03,501 --> 00:20:05,341
They didn't.

345
00:20:05,421 --> 00:20:07,861
It's always just
when you think
you have things in your grasp

346
00:20:07,941 --> 00:20:10,981
that you close your fingers
and find they've gone.

347
00:20:11,061 --> 00:20:12,701
Because when we're in love,

348
00:20:12,781 --> 00:20:15,901
it's our hearts that guide us
and betray us all the time.

349
00:20:17,021 --> 00:20:19,381
Orpheus could bear it
no longer.

350
00:20:20,221 --> 00:20:22,461
He turned.

351
00:20:22,541 --> 00:20:25,181
And her soul fled back
to Hades.

352
00:20:27,341 --> 00:20:29,421
He had lost eurydice forever.

353
00:20:30,261 --> 00:20:31,581
[Dog howling]

354
00:20:33,421 --> 00:20:35,861
Orpheus went out alone.

355
00:20:35,941 --> 00:20:39,101
He went back to the land
of his people

356
00:20:39,181 --> 00:20:41,581
and sat like a man
who was dead already.

357
00:20:43,781 --> 00:20:46,181
And the women gathered
around him.

358
00:20:46,261 --> 00:20:47,861
They felt his pain,

359
00:20:47,941 --> 00:20:49,981
but they begged him to play.

360
00:20:50,061 --> 00:20:52,141
For his music brought rain,

361
00:20:52,221 --> 00:20:53,941
made crops grow.

362
00:20:55,061 --> 00:20:56,061
No

363
00:20:57,261 --> 00:20:58,381
more

364
00:20:59,621 --> 00:21:00,781
music,

365
00:21:02,341 --> 00:21:03,341
ever.

366
00:21:07,941 --> 00:21:09,381
[Jarring]

367
00:21:11,541 --> 00:21:12,741
What happened?

368
00:21:12,821 --> 00:21:14,981
If you could have heard
that sound,

369
00:21:15,061 --> 00:21:17,661
a hateful, ugly sound,

370
00:21:17,741 --> 00:21:19,741
a sound that could make
women barren,

371
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:21,741
stop love before it started,

372
00:21:21,821 --> 00:21:23,861
on and on and on,

373
00:21:23,941 --> 00:21:26,421
day after day.

374
00:21:30,141 --> 00:21:32,621
And the women came to him
from the fields

375
00:21:32,701 --> 00:21:35,981
knowing they must end
this deathly noise.

376
00:21:36,061 --> 00:21:40,621
They circled around him
and beat their tools
on the ground.

377
00:21:40,701 --> 00:21:43,581
They're really wild
those women.
What are they doing?

378
00:21:50,741 --> 00:21:53,741
[Dog]
Stop! What're
they doing to him?

379
00:22:04,101 --> 00:22:06,181
They tore his body
limb from limb.

380
00:22:07,541 --> 00:22:10,461
They cast his fragments
onto the river.

381
00:22:10,541 --> 00:22:12,381
And his head floated
out to sea

382
00:22:12,461 --> 00:22:15,101
to the island of lesbos.

383
00:22:15,181 --> 00:22:17,581
And his head still sang
her name

384
00:22:17,661 --> 00:22:19,741
and will always sing her name.

385
00:22:19,821 --> 00:22:21,701
Eurydice.

386
00:22:21,781 --> 00:22:25,621
And some people say
that the wild women
were turned into trees

387
00:22:25,701 --> 00:22:27,261
where they stood.

388
00:22:27,341 --> 00:22:30,621
That was the last time
the trees had souls.

389
00:22:30,701 --> 00:22:32,221
And from that day,

390
00:22:32,301 --> 00:22:35,701
there was nothing in oaks,
or limes, or silver birch

391
00:22:35,781 --> 00:22:38,341
but Woody silence.

392
00:22:38,421 --> 00:22:41,181
But orpheus' head
spoke prophecies.

393
00:22:41,261 --> 00:22:44,701
And the love that
he'd had for eurydice
was never forgotten.

394
00:22:44,781 --> 00:22:46,301
Never will be forgotten

395
00:22:46,381 --> 00:22:48,701
as long as there is love.

396
00:22:48,781 --> 00:22:52,021
So maybe love
is stronger than death.

397
00:22:52,101 --> 00:22:54,261
And we've got his lyre.
It's here.

398
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:59,221
My lyre must always play.

399
00:22:59,301 --> 00:23:01,981
For without music,
we're nothing.

400
00:23:02,061 --> 00:23:04,501
We need the shapes
out of nothing.

401
00:23:04,581 --> 00:23:06,661
Tunes out of silence.

402
00:23:06,741 --> 00:23:08,141
Love out of hate.

403
00:23:09,341 --> 00:23:11,341
Music that lasts forever.
