In Greek myth, Eurydice (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυδίκη) is the wife of the poet‑musician Orpheus whose death by a viper and conditional retrieval from Hades frames themes of love, loss, and the limits of reversing death.

The name therefore appears across cosmological, heroic, local-political, and intellectual registers rather than referring to a single coherent supernatural being.
