thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love

“Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?”
― Ovid, Metamorphoses

This is true no matter the version you’re reading.

1. Eurydice trips and Orpheus turns to help her because he loves her.

2. Orpheus cannot hear Eurydice behind him, and fearing that he’s been tricked, turns to make sure she’s there.

3. Orpheus makes it out of the Underworld, and so full of love and excitement to be with Eurydice, turns to embrace her, forgetting that they both need to be out of the Underworld.

No matter what happens in the story, Orpheus loses Eurydice because his love for her compels him to look.

Orpheus, I can forgive you, then,
There’s not a soul alive who wouldn’t have looked back

The Descent, by Tyler King

Don’t forget Gluck’s opera, where Eurydice doesn’t know Orpheus is forbidden to look back, Orpheus is also forbidden to tell her, she assumes he must not love her anymore, and Orpheus finally looks back to reassure her of his love because he can’t bear her anguish.

In that version in particular, but possibly in all retellings, a part of us wants Orpheus to look back, because his failure proves his love.

What gets me is that Orpheus’s love for  Eurydice is the reason why he descended after her in the first place… but its also the reason he failed. Had he loved her a little less they would have made it out. Had he loved her a little less and he never would have gone down after her at all.

The modern descendant of the chatelaine is the carabiner send tweet

@glass-oceans ask and ye shall receive!

A chatelaine could refer to the person (usually a woman who ran the household) or the accessory (a belt clip that held keys and whatnots that she might need in the daily running of the household)

We’ve lost the snazzy decorations, but your friend with the carabiner full of keys and a Swiss Army knife and a flashlight and a bottle opener and all the other shit you might need? Same thing

YOU may have lost the snazzy decorations, but MY carabiner has a little charm of Batman dangling from a line on it.
