Orpheus and people who don't really exist

From The Underworld by the Herd was a song I loved in the 60s - seriously overblown and dramatic, I'm not alone in liking that.
So why? Eurydice could tell you if she was still here. It's called a lack of trust - someone has promised that it will all be ok if you just believe and don't look back to check. So you do. And it's not, but it would have been - or so they say.
I reckon Hades always knew Orpheus would check - that's why he made the deal that way. It's always too late once you've done it. No excuse, no explanation - three times the thunder rolled in my ears, through all of my years I'll see that lost look in your eyes...

How many pomegranate seeds do you have to eat to stay there all year ? For ever ? I think I'm doomed.... Well, I know I am anyway, really, as are we all, but the dramatic effect isn't quite the same if you don't pretend to be able to escape to the world of light

Yes I do know that pomegranates were Persephone, but it's the same issue - coming back from the dead...

Is Eurydice the same as Juliet ? Did he love her as much? Was Romeo taking the poison to go to the underworld as Orpheus to find her and bring her back? Would he have sung for her if he'd found her - was it just that the time was wrong ?
Is that why he died - he went to find her, but she wasn't really there so he couldn't find her and they wouldn't let him go back ?
Was Eurydice really dead or was it just a trick to find out how much he loved her - and she got Hades in on the act - she was alive all along, but it all backfired, not because he didn't love her, but because he was so scared of losing her that he had to look back to check.
Then she had to be dead, because that was the deal she did with Hades..
Or maybe Hades was her lover and she wanted to make Orpheus feel responsible for losing her so she could be with someone else while he was miserable and wouldn't come looking again - possibly it was because he'd pissed her off by being a successful musician and was always on tour....and she found out about the groupies (or goddesses, as he called them) could be the beginnings of a short story - or a series of them - alternative versions of the Greek Myths. Just people who didn't really exist, so you can say what you want.

So did Pandora really open the box, or was she just the scapegoat for some bloke who forgot what he put in the box, and had lost his car keys and rang her and said have you checked everywhere, and she said everywhere but this box, which you told me not to open in any circumstances. So he said check in there anyway - he'd forgotten they were in his other coat. So she did, and got eternal blame for what she let out. That would explain a lot.
You will note that Hope appears to be female too in that myth - but also women usually get a really bad press in myths - like Eve in the garden of Eden...why is it her fault ? You'd think blokes don't know how to say no...hang on there, that makes sense in a way...and who writes it down ? Men. Got to have someone to blame. No, guv it wasn't me, it was this woman what tempted me, so I did it...

People who don't really exist - I just found out the name of your best friend, you've been talking 'bout yourself again....mmm...and you imagine other people are who they say they are - but it's all a game. You have to guess who's real and who isn't. No answers, no clues. You guess wrong.
