The ultra-short condensed version of Orpheus and Eurydice:
Orpheus, the best musician ever, married Eurydice, who died shortly after their wedding.
Orpheus went into the underworld, to the throne of Hades himself, and played a song so sad it moved him to pity that one and only time. "Walk back out of the underworld, and Eurydice will follow. But if you look back, she will be dead forever."
Orpheus made it almost all the way out, but then looked back to see if Eurydice was there. She was, but was dragged back to the underworld then.
Orpheus was majorly bummed, and eventually got killed
the ending was orpheus mourning his wife and daydreaming
