Line 72:
* [[Villain Love Song]]: "Hey Little Songbird," in which Hades seduces Eurydice.
* [[Villainous Lament]]: "How Long," in which a surprisingly vulnerable Hades shows bitter regret not for his villainous deeds, but for the [[Destructive Romance|dysfunctional nature]] of his marriage. What's tragic is that both Hades and Persephone seem to truly love each other even as that damaged love pains and tortures them.
* [[VillainVillainous RespectValor]]: Hades can't help but admire that Orpheus, after receiving a soul-crushiingcrushing beating, gets back up and starts a riot. He allows Orpheus to plead for his wife's fate, threatening him that after the song is done, he will kill the "young man".
* [[Voice of the Legion]]: Orpheus, to indicate his divine musical talent.
* [[Wedding Day]]: "Wedding Song," natch.
