She was wife of the greatest mortal musician Orpheus. She was bitten by a snake and died. The grief-stricken Orpheus went down into Hell to bring her back. His moving music, it is said, even drew iron tears down Pluto's cheek. So Pluto (Hades) agreed to let her go, but on the condition that she must follow Orpheus all the way and he must not look back to see her until they reach the upper world. It so happened, then, that as soon as Orpheus stepped out of the cavern, he turned back to greet her, and that was a bit too soon, for she was still in the underworld. Thus, she disappeared on the instant, never to return.
