Orpheus - Eurydice - Hermes

Product information "Orpheus - Eurydice - Hermes"

Although Apollo's son had softened the underworld with song and teaching and returned his nymphic wife to him, at the end of the path, when the glow of light can already be seen, he turns to her, overwhelmed by love. Thus he breaks the commandment of the gods, and even Hermes, who has rushed in, is unable to prevent her disappearance into the shadows.
