Ehhhh, I find this myth about Orpheus in my notes. After returning from Colchis, Jason took his twin sons to Iolcus. (Sons of Jason and Hypsipyle are descendants of Dionysus and Ariadne through their grandfather Thoas in some sources!) After Jason's death, Orpheus, out of friendship, educated the boys in Thrace. Years later, Hypsipyle's grown sons, reunited with Thoas, found Hypsipyle in Nemea. One son trained in war, while the other, Euneus mastered the cithara like Orpheus. Euneus was related to an Athenian family, what the priest of Dionysus Melpomenus was chosen from this lineage, though no link between Orpheus and Dionysus is suggested.
