hmmm.. *thinks*

very true, they can..

thank you for attending me :)

you make me want to go back to being obsessed with this again.. :D

Well it actually depends which version of the myth you read...Ovid's version in Latin (which the title says this is for...not greek)...seems to indicate Pluto hears the music "And Hades' queen and he whose sceptre rules/The Underworld could not deny the prayer"...but there is no trick involved in Ovid's version either...it does add a surprising bit of humor to the story...they can plead creative license

i know, stick to myth, doesn't matter if your sister says so, besides, you should try to make her either read or listen to the myth, maybe she'll get the concept & make a better video

YES!! thank you!!!! i've bin trying to tell my little sister that but nooo she won't listen.. *hmmf* in the actual myth there aren't any tricks either, orpheus looked back.. and Hades only helps him because of his wife Persephone. Hades himself is deaf to the music Orpheus plays and refuses to give up the soul of Eurydice. but enough now.. i'm sorry you had to read that..

Tricks Cereal has nothing to do with greek mythology.

Eurydice is bitten by a snake in the actual myth, not a lizard.
