Ep 102 - Orpheus & Eurydice: In this episode, we delve into the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice as told through the mythical lens of ancient Greece. The Storyteller takes us on a journey to the underworld where Orpheus, the legendary musician, bravely attempts to rescue his beloved wife Eurydice from the clutches of Hades, the god of the dead. Along the way, we encounter various characters from Greek mythology such as the three-headed dog Cerberus, the Fates who control destiny, and the ferryman Charon who transports the dead across the river Styx. Orpheus uses his magical powers of music to charm his way past these obstacles, but he must also resist the urge to look back at Eurydice before they make it to safety in the land of the living. Will Orpheus succeed in his quest or will his love for Eurydice prove too much to bear? This episode explores themes of love, loss, and the power of music to transcend even death itself. The stunning imagery and masterful puppetry of Jim Henson's team bring this timeless tale to life in a way that is both enchanting and haunting.
