_Love will make men dare to die for their beloved. Of this / Alcestis is a monument... for she was willing to lay down her / life for her husband... and so noble did this appear to the gods / that they granted her the privilege of returning to earth... but / Orpheus, the son of OEagrus, they sent empty away. . ._
