After Eurydice was bitten by a serpent and died, Orpheus was so stricken that he dared to enter the underworld to see if he could win her back from death. he sang such sad songs that Hades and Persephone, the gods of the underworld, were so moved that they allowed Orpheus to lead Eurydice back to the light of day under the condition that he wouldn't look at her walking behind him until they were back in the world of the living. Suspecting deception and doubting the god's promise, in his anxiety he turned to see if she was really there ... in that same instant she disappears back into the underworld.
