What was the greatest strength of orpheus ? what was his weakness

The greatest strength of Orpheus was definitely his talent or skill in playing. It is said that he played and sang almost as good as the gods themselves. His weakness should be something like his hubris or his arrogance because he thought that he was such a great musician that he was even better than gods, which is why gods decided to teach him a lesson.

Dear Gentleman Scholar —

Recently, I nearly reduced a woman to tears when she gently proffered her hand to me at a work conference and I vigorously squeezed it and yanked her around like the Incredible Hulk shaking hands with Raggedy Ann. There was much metacarpal cracking and muted whimpering. Having (I thought) learned my lesson, later at the same event when another women extended her hand, I very gently held hers and then released. There were no injuries this time, but she glared at me as if I had just handed her a dead fish. How does a gentleman shake hands with a lady? Am I supposed to shake it, caress it, kiss it, just hold it for a moment? What gives?

Yours,
