La morte d'Orfeo
After failing to save Eurydice from the underworld, Orpheus renounces wine and the love of women. Bacchus, offended by this, urges his female followers to kill him, and the Maenads tear Orpheus apart. The gods invite him to Olympus, but he wants to reunite with Eurydice in Hades. Mercury shows him that she no longer remembers him after drinking from Lethe, and Orpheus agrees to ascend to Olympus.
