	There are two main competing myths relating to the death of Orpheus. According to [[Eratosthenes]], Orpheus failed to make a necessary sacrifice to [[Dionysus]] due to his regard for [[Apollo]] as the supreme deity instead. Dionysus then sent his followers to rip Orpheus apart. [[Ovid]] tells a rather different story, saying that women, in retribution for Orpheus's rejection of marriage offers, ganged up and threw stones and [[spear]]s. At first, his music charmed them as well, but eventually their numbers and clamor overwhelmed his music and he was hit by the spears.

	There are two main competing myths relating to the death of Orpheus. According to [[Eratosthenes]], Orpheus failed to make a necessary sacrifice to [[Dionysus]] due to his regard for [[Apollo]] as the supreme deity instead. Dionysus then sent his followers to rip Orpheus apart. [[Ovid]] tells a rather different story, saying that women, in retribution for Orpheus's rejection of marriage offers, ganged up and threw stones and [[spear]]s. At first, his music charmed them as well, but eventually their numbers and clamor overwhelmed his music and he was hit by the spears. Both myths then state that his lyre was placed in the sky by [[Zeus]] and Orpheus's bones were buried by the [[muse]]s.<ref name="Ridpath"/> In a third myth, he was killed by the Thracian women because he looked on the rites of [[Liber\|Father Liber]] (Dionysus).<ref name=Kneeler/>		There are two main competing myths relating to the death of Orpheus.
