Orpheus is a hero of ancient Greek mythology, a legendary singer, musician, poet and prophet. But ancient Greek and other sources note the Thracian origin of Orpheus. He is the son of the Thracian river king Eager and the muse Calliope. Which leads us to think that he is a hero of the Thracians and not of the Hellenes. Orpheus is one of the handful of heroes who visited the Underworld and returned. He tried to save his wife Eurydice from the underworld, but failed.
