Orpheus continues working on his song ('Epic II'), while Persephone and Hades argue ('Chant').

The cold weather returns and Eurydice searches for food and firewood, urging Orpheus to finish his song ('A Gathering Storm'). Despite hearing about the never-ending labor endured by the factory workers, Eurydice is intrigued by the rich praises sung by the Fates as well as the promise of protection that Hadestown offers ('Way Down Hadestown'). Hades comes early to collect Persephone, and she voices her misery of having to return to Hadestown, Hades's underground factory. Persephone arrives in the world above and celebrates summertime ('Livin' it Up on Top'), while Eurydice begins to truly fall in love with Orpheus ('All I've Ever Known'). Orpheus sings the story of Hades and Persephone ('Epic I'). Orpheus tells her that he is writing a song to make spring come again, and they will no longer have to struggle ('Wedding Song'). Eurydice is doubtful as they both live in poverty. Orpheus, Hermes's ward, introduces himself to Eurydice and asks her to marry him ('Come Home With Me'). This is followed by Eurydice and the Fates describing the harsh weather and famine of the setting ('Any Way the Wind Blows'). The story begins with the Greek god Hermes introducing the characters ('Road to Hell').
