Orpheus, in Greek mythology, was a legendary musician, poet, and prophet whose music could charm all living things, even stones and rivers. Known for his deep love for Eurydice, he journeyed into the Underworld to bring her back, becoming a symbol of devotion, artistry, and tragic longing.

Morpheus (also called Dream of the Endless in The Sandman) has one of the richest and most layered personalities in comics and literature. His persona blends ancient, mythic gravitas with very human flaws.
