What Greek minstrel went to the Underworld to bring back his wife, Eurydice?

Orpheus is the Greek minstrel known for his extraordinary musical talents, which allowed him to charm both beasts and gods. His journey to the Underworld to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, is one of the most famous tales in Greek mythology. According to the myth, after Eurydice died from a snake bite, Orpheus descended into the Underworld, where he played his lyre and sang so beautifully that even Hades, the god of the Underworld, was moved. Hades agreed to let Eurydice return to the living world under the condition that Orpheus would not look back at her until they reached the surface.

The other options do not relate to a journey to the Underworld. Hesiod was a poet and a contemporary of Homer, known for his works on farming and the myths of the gods, but he did not have a story involving a descent to the Underworld. "Singer" is a generic term and does not refer to a specific figure in Greek mythology, while Apollo is a major god associated with many things—music, prophecy, healing—but he is not known for making a journey to retrieve a loved one from the Underworld. Thus, Orpheus stands out as the correct answer
