Am I or have I ever been a mythical figure?

Out of all the mythical figures that I know about, I feel that I relate the most to Orpheus. He was gifted with music, and none but the gods could surpass his power of music when he sang and played. Some stories say that he was the son of the Olympian god Apollo and got his musical talents from him, while others say that his mother, one of the Muses, gifted him with his musical abilities. As one version of the story goes, Orpheus fell in love with a woman named Eurydice, and they married. However, shortly after the wedding, Eurydice was bitten by a poisonous snake, died, and was taken to the Underworld. So stricken by grief, Orpheus went down to the Underworld, where he sang and played his lyre, so moving Hades that he agreed to released Eurydice to Orpheus on the condition that he did not turn to look back at her until they had reached the upper world. They were almost to the top when Orpheus looked back at Eurydice, who was then taken back to the Underworld. He spent the rest of his life wandering the earth and playing his music until he was killed by Maenads.

First of all, I love music and am constantly singing or playing songs in my head, so I am similar to Orpheus in that way. I can also have the same issue with trust, or doubt. He loved Eurydice so much, but he didn't have faith that Eurydice was behind him. He gave into that doubt, and it cost him the thing he held most dear. He got in the way of his own happiness, and I have found that I can do that also. Sometimes I let my doubt get in the way of success. I can come so close to achievement, but I allow it to slip through my fingers. Another way that you can look at the story is the intensity of his love and how it helps him to do something that most others would not have even dreamed of. How far would I go for my loved ones? How far would I go for the things I care about most in the world? Would I be able to face my fears and tread into the unknown? I hope that when that time comes in my life, I will be able to say yes.
