Riddy looks upset while standing in the street in Kaos
The following contains spoilers for KAOS, now streaming on NetflixKAOS' saddest modern reimagining of a classic Greek myth highlights one of the most important aspects of the ancient stories. KAOS is a compelling modern remix of Greek myths, set in a version of the world where culture is defined by the worship and influence of Gods like Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon.
1 KAOS' Orpheus Storyline Is The Show's Saddest Storyline Orpehsus' Trip To The Underworld Is Heartbreaking KAOS' Orpheus storyline is an effective reimagining of the original myth, transforming the story into a compelling modern tragedy. While the driving elements of KAOS are the machinations of Olympus and a mystery unraveling in the underworld, Orpheus' efforts to rescue his wife remain a particularly human aspect of the series.
In KAOS, Orpheus fails to impress Hades. However, Persephone allows the pair to escape. The most creative way mythology is referenced in KAOS is an emotional beat after they escape the underworld. Heartbroken at the discovery that Riddy no longer loves him, Orpheus initially refuses to look at her. In the original myth, the one requirement to restore Eurydice is that Orpheus not look at her until they've escaped the Underworld.
