Orpheus

Thracian singer, son of the Muse Calliope by Oeagrus (or, in name, by Apollo), whose songs moved stones and trees; an Argonaut who out-sang the Sirens, he went down to Hades for his wife Eurydice and lost her by looking back, was torn apart by Thracian women, and was credited with founding mysteries. Ovid gives the fullest telling.
