Help!!! I want to read the myth/story of Orpheus and Eurydice but I cant find a physical copy of any sort of book anywhere? Does it exist? Is this search all in vain? My adhd will not rest until I appease this hyperfixation!
Also if anyone has a list of all of the books/stories/myths that Hozier refers to in his music I would be eternally grateful!

Either Mythos or Heroes by Stephen Fry has it, from memory. Greek myth stories were passed orally, so it’s generally difficult to find book versions except those that are recent or spins on the original tale.
One of the recorded accounts is in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
try looking under “black orpheus”, at least thats the title i found it under. eurydice is too hard to pronounce i think. also there are two films of this story that are both very well done from brasil.
