Quotes 

• The Storyteller : Orpheus wanted to keep her away from the untrimmed trees and the ragged depts of the forests because he knew who was there.

  The Dog : Who was?

  The Storyteller : Centaurs, fauns, satyrs, creatures given up to pleasure, hairy and unpredictable.

  The Dog : Like me.

  [laughs] 

  The Storyteller : Hairy, anyway.

  [scratches the dog's belly] 

• The Storyteller : There is almost no sound in Hades.

  The Dog : They have a dog there, don't they?

  The Storyteller : They have a three-headed dog, Cerberus, if you must know. But this isn't a story about dogs, this is the story of Orpheus, who went down into Hades itself to bring back his loved one.

• The Storyteller : He was almost at the entrance to the cave that leads to Hades and he could hear the birds singing outside...

  The Dog : [interrupting]  And they walked out into the sunlight and were happily ever after?

  The Storyteller : They didn't. They didn't.

  [the dog sighs] 

  The Storyteller : They didn't.

• The Dog : They're realy wild, those women, what are they doing?
