Orpheus - The Legendary Poet & Musician of Ancient Greece (The Father of Songs)

Orpheus is a legendary figure from Greek mythology, known as a musician, poet, and prophet with the power to charm all living things—and even inanimate objects—with his music. He is most famous for his descent into the underworld to rescue his wife, Eurydice, using the beauty of his lyre to soften the hearts of Hades and Persephone. His journey represents the themes of love, loss, and the transcendence of art. Orpheus is also associated with mystical and religious traditions, particularly Orphism, which emphasizes the soul’s journey, death, and rebirth.
