The first ending - so far

I knew what I had to do, there had been a major miscarriage of justice, and I had to sort it out for Eurydice - well, for Orpheus too, but he was less important to me than she was. So I had to decide pretty quickly who to approach first - if I picked the wrong person, then I could see me ending up where she was - gods tend to stick together and this involved at least 4 of them....not an easy choice.
In the end, I played it safe and went to see Calliope, Orpheus's mum, to let her know what had happened and ask her for her opinion on what to do next....where do you find nymphs these days ? Took me a while, but eventually I tracked her down to the springs at Pieres where she lives
She was really surprised to see me, she hadn't had many visitors for a while, and she was really pleased to see me at first, asked me lots about how things had been going since she last saw me that day, and after a while I started telling her the story - as she listened she put a hand over her mouth in shock as I told her what I'd found out, then she burst into tears - first, she said, for her poor son, who hadn't done anything wrong, but then for Eurydice, who was not only wronged, but dead - and she had absolutely nothing to do with any of it.
Once she'd pulled herself together, she suggested that we both go to Zeus with the story. Apart from being top god, it had been his decision to involve Calliope in my judgement, so he was in some way responsible for all this. I thought that might be a bit of a big step, going right to the top, but she pointed out that Hades and Ares were pretty high up the pecking order, and so it needed to be someone with a bit of clout to make things happen, and you couldn't get a cloutier god than Zeus. So we set off to Olympus to visit him.
