   orpheus to All

   If you have ever attempted to stare at the sun chances are that it   
   ended in a sneeze.   
      
   What if while approaching the exit to the underworld with Eurydice   
   he actually was sneezing and not looking back. Was the fix in for   
   Orpheus no matter if he indeed break the agreement with Hades. Or   
   was this a natural reaction to seeing the light at the end of the   
   metaphorical tunnel. Xenophon would believe this would be a sign of   
   good luck and maybe Hades had enough of the lyre and wanted   
   Orpheus' luck to run out. It would have been the most inopportune   
   moment to sneeze but that is when some bodlily functions find it's   
   best to let out. Orpheus' story should be revisited and his tragic   
   ending rewritten if he was victim to a bodily function.
