(Mythological) Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot?

I'm watching "Jason and the Argonauts" on SciFi right now, just killing time. I thought it'd be the old Harryhausen version, silly animatronics and all, but no; it's the new version from a few years back.

Orpheus just turned to Jason and said "if we turn out back on life, we do not honor the dead; we abandon them."

Orpheus. You know, the guy who was so lost over the death of his wife that he journeyed into hell to get her back and, when that didn't work, became sat still in the woods for months until drunk, naked women showed up and tore him limb from limb because he wouldn't party with them. And it's not like he couldn't have stopped them with a word or anything...

Yeah, Orpheus is a real poster boy for not turning your back on life...
