About this story
俄耳甫斯下冥界救妻是古希腊最有名的爱情神话之一。古罗马诗人维吉尔约公元前 29 年完成的《农事诗》第四卷,和奥维德约公元 8 年完成的《变形记》第十卷都讲过它:欧律狄刻被毒蛇咬伤身亡,俄耳甫斯用歌声打动冥王冥后,却在快出冥界时回了头,永远失去了她。这一版依照奥维德的情节,让摆渡人卡戎在去程和回程各开口一次,并用《变形记》第十一卷里两人在冥界重逢的情节收尾。

Tips for telling it
- 回程那段可以越讲越轻,多停顿,让孩子和俄耳甫斯一起紧张:她到底跟上来没有?
- 讲完可以问孩子:如果你是俄耳甫斯,你能忍住不回头吗?为什么最后几步最难?
- 可以接着听《珀耳塞福涅与四季》,听听冥后珀耳塞福涅是怎么来到冥界的。
Questions people ask
- 俄耳甫斯为什么回头?
- 奥维德在《变形记》里写道,快到出口时,俄耳甫斯怕欧律狄刻没有跟上,又太想看她一眼,才回过了头。维吉尔的《农事诗》则说那是爱人一时忘情的“疯狂”。两位诗人都没有把它写成故意违约,而是爱得太深、太心急。
- 俄耳甫斯和欧律狄刻最后在一起了吗?
- 活着的时候没有。按奥维德《变形记》第十一卷的说法,俄耳甫斯死后,灵魂来到冥界,重新找到了欧律狄刻,从此两人并肩散步,他终于可以放心地回头看她。
- 俄耳甫斯的故事告诉我们什么?
- 它常被用来讲爱的力量:俄耳甫斯的歌声连冥王都能打动。它也提醒人们守住承诺、学会信任有多难——他已经得到了冥王的许诺,却在最后几步没能相信欧律狄刻就在身后。
