And now the story must go on.....

OK, so the waiting is officially over, it's time to head back to where we were.
Let's play catch up a minute

Adonis is about to go back down to the underworld to do two things -
Firstly, to check with Eurydice to find out what she wants - whether she wants to come back to life and live with Orpheus, or stay dead down there - and maybe be with Orpheus at some point, or maybe not. It is her choice.
You will notice she does not appear to have the choice of being alive and NOT being with Orpheus - that seems to be his mum's decision - and nymphs still have a bit of clout it would seem.

Secondly, to have a "quiet word" with Hades about what he knows and a hint about what will or could happen if he doesn't play ball. That isn't going to be a lot of fun. Needs doing though.

Calliope is off to find Orpheus, to try to persuade him to stop doing what he's doing right now - because it is really annoying the local women and they will kill him if he doesn't stop, plus finding out whether he still wants Eurydice.

Worst case scenario - Orpheus decides he doesn't want her, she decides to be alive and be with him.
Second worst case - he decides he wants her and she decides to stay dead.

All other options are kind of not too bad.

So now it's time to go back to the story itself - mind you, we haven't heard much from Eurydice since Adonis left, so maybe we ought to start with her.......see if she's settled into being dead yet.....could be significant.....
