Orpheus appeared in multiple myths, but his most famous involves the death of Eurydice.
Heartbroken, Orpheus ventured into the underworld with the protection of the Gods.
This is similar to the way Dionysus serves as a patron for Orpheus inKAOS.
In the original myth, Orpheus plays a song for the pair and impresses them enough to free Eurydice.
InKAOS, Orpheus fails to impress Hades.
However, Persephone (who admits she’s a fan of his music) allows the pair to escape.
The most creative way mythology is referenced inKAOSis an emotional beat after they escape the underworld.
Heartbroken at the discovery that Riddy no longer loves him,Orpheus initially refuses to look at her.
It’s through characters like Orpheus that Greek mythology instills morals and lessons into their tales.

Stories like the Minotaur and characters like Prometheus are remixed to reflect broken vows and shattered bonds.
The saddest plotline inKAOSis a good showcase of what makes the show work so well.
His situation becomes even worse when Prometheus develops a plan to take Zeus down once and for all.
