Sir Orfeo

"Sir Orfeo" is a medieval narrative poem that reimagines the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice within Celtic legend. It tells the story of Sir Orfeo, a noble knight whose wife, Heurodis, is taken to the fairy world by supernatural beings. Driven by love and grief, Orfeo ventures into the fairy realm, plays his music, and persuades the otherworldly inhabitants to return his wife. The poem explores themes of love, loyalty, and the boundary between the human and supernatural worlds, blending elements of folklore, myth, and romance in a poetic form.
