Orpheus wasn't a god. His story was that his wife died and he wanted her back, so he went to the Underworld to get her back. He almost succeeded, but when Alecto (a Fate) led her out of the Underworld , she walked behind Orpheus, and he was instructed NOT to look back, he must trust that Alecto really was leading his wife out of the Underworld. Of course, he looked back, and it really was his wife. They both died happily ever after.
