Eurydice, belatedly realizing Orpheus isn't coming*, finds her own way out of Hades.


As above but rather than not coming at all, Orpheus shows up late (added later) by which time Eurydice has found her own escape. This may explain why the god of the dead was not willing to let Orpheus look at the face of the woman he was leading out of Hades.

*He is a poet so it is not like he has to actually do the romantic quest thing to get credit for doing the romantic quest thing, as long as he has an explanation for why Eurydice is not with him.

How does option 1 give her more agency? She's escaped on her own in both cases.
