description: A cunning and sometimes malevolent Queen looking for her princess. An innocent falling under the sorcery of a halfing-Gods speech. When she sees Orpheus intent Persephone cannot countenance Eurydices marriage. She intervenes killing Eurydice to save her from that life. The life that she sees as a mirror of the life Hades tried to force on her. And the women come together in a passionate tryst. When Orpheus entreats Hades to return his wife Persephone points out that Eurydice cannot return to life after eating of the fruits of the Underworld. She devises a test that she is sure Orpheus will fail but it will require all of Eurydices bravery and fortitude. Will they find themselves allowed to carry-on their love or will Orpheus thwart them?
