In retelling the mythological story of Orpheus the musician, Winifred Hutchinson covers the singer's education by the nine Muses in Part 1, covering the Creation, the Gods vs. the Titans, Prometheus, Deucalion and Pyrrha, Cadmus, and other stories; in Part 2 she recounts Orpheus' life, including the marriage of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Eurydice's death. Hutchinson's retelling of classical myths were popular at a time when classical topics were gradually deemphasized. The author's rendering of the stories often add an unexpected but refreshing angle for the reader/listener. - Summary by Mark Harrington
