YES YES which is always interesting to me because a lot of greek/roman myths actually pay some fair attention to women's pov, but these stories it is just a side note. Alcestis at least did volunteer, with Eurydice it always feels so much like shit just happens to her so that we can tell the superawesome story of superawesome Orpheus, so I LOVE the retellings in which she gets more and differing voice in it.
