The Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is the quintessential tale of love lost, nearly regained and then agonizingly lost again. When Eurydice dies on their wedding day, her musician lover Orpheus, "father of song", journeys down to Hades to rescue her. The man shreds so hard on the lyre they let him escort Eurydice back to the land of the living, with the caveat that she walk behind him the whole way – if he so much as sneaks a peek at his beloved before they reach terra firma, she'll be lost forever. Of course all this happened way before D.A. Pennebaker's documentary Don't Look Back was released; had Orpheus been familiar with that particular title mankind might have been denied one of the most heartbreaking love stories ever conceived, not to mention a moment of 'D'oh!' unrivaled by Homer himself. more ›

Example at right. more ›
