		Orpheus, king of the Ciconians, is counted among the ARGONAUTS.
		Orpheus married Eurydice 5, but she, while strolling through the grass with a group of naiads, was smitten in the ankle by a serpent, which shot its poison into her body and killed her.
		But others point out that Orpheus did not receive his wife back, because his attempt was the quest of a coward, who was not willing to die for her but entered the Underworld alive, and alive he left both Underworld and wife, who in that way died twice.

	Orpheus
		Orpheus was "the realizer of Dionysus" and "Priest of Apollo," triumphantly acknowledged as the one who tamed, measured, and revealed the meaning of the intoxicating rites.
		Pure Orpheus was credited by his Hellenic descendants with the numinous drawing-down of the immortal godhead to the soul of man. By the wisdom and lineage of the "god-infilled Initiator," the immortal soul became the essential mark of being human.
		Orpheus' transformed and transforming influence went down the west coast of Asia Minor to Ionia and became physics and metaphysics; his cosmogony and mystic gnosis went south to Athens and became the Rhapsodies, philosophy, theatre, and democracy; his enlightened joy moved west to Italy and emerged in harmony, mathematics, community, Stillness, and Being without genesis.

		There are also alterations to the original made by Cocteau: Orpheus falls in love with Death (who is female) and she with him; Death makes the great sacrifice by giving Orpheus back to his "earthly" love Eurydice.
		Jean Cocteau's Orphee (Orpheus) is possibly the most uncharacterizable film ever: neither high art nor low, and neither a recasting of the classical Orphic myth nor a refutation of the original.
