Orpheus went to the underworld. Six months, walking, without a break to find his love. He was protected, by a gift, the gift of telling the beauty of the world by the song. He passed the Styx, in front of dead people, charmed Cerberus, and met Hades and Persephone.
Tim try to recreated his friend. He was a smart boy, knew everything about his bestfriend. Knew that he didn’t act before but he could now. He was not just a detective, he could be a scientist. He took the DNA of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor and tried. Tried, tried and tried again. Day and night. Hours, minutes and second. He tried to save him.
Orpheus shared a song about love, one that everyone could related to. About two people so in love that the world wouldn’t meant nothing, the world would be them. A love about life, about living. A song about Music about the primacy of love, the most powerful force of all, the one that would drive you to do the unimaginable.
As going to the end of Death, or cloning someone for love.
Passion in Greek meant to suffer, someone who is driven by their emotions.
We could say that both of them were passionate, both by love. Driven by their sorrow and defied the impossible.
The leaders of the Hades accepted to let Eurydice follow her lover. One condition though, he couldn't see her.
Nobody bothered Tim during his researched, he tried, nobody stop him.
But fate can’t be outperform. Even the strongest love, the strongest perseverance couldn’t.
Both of them failed. Both of them had to let their love go away. Both of them were asked to turned the page, restarted.
Both of them cried the death of a love, a love who should mean life, joy, light.
But every life has an end, every joy turned into sadness, every light turn off.
Orpheus and Tim try to override death, for love. But death doesn’t follow love, it follow the Fate.
Eurydice and Kon were just young people when they died, loved by two person who tried everything for them.
But they were just mortals.
