PASSAGE
Orpheus, vir mirae artis, uxorem suam Eurydicen valde amabat. Sed Eurydice a serpente morsa in regnum Plutonis descendit. Orpheus, dolore permotus, ad inferos ipse descendit et cantu suo Plutonem Proserpinaque movit. Pluto tandem dixit: 'Eurydicem tecum ducere potes, sed unam condicionem debes servare: dum ex inferis ascendis, ne respicias.' Orpheus gaudens cum uxore iter facere coepit. Sed, amore victus, retro respexit. Statim Eurydice in umbras recessit et iterum periit.
A student writes the following summary of this passage: 'Orpheus descended to the underworld because of his extraordinary musical skill, and Pluto released Eurydice as a reward for the finest singing Pluto had ever heard. Orpheus then lost Eurydice because he disobeyed Pluto out of distrust.' Identify two specific errors this summary makes relative to the Latin text.
