With her imprisonment being longer and far more grueling than Morpheus’, the latter can’t help but feel the need to go all out for her, not only because she is his ex-lover and the mother of his child, but for the seriousness of the crimes done to her. It’s also worth noting that Calliope’s journey also mirrors Morpheus’ containment at the hands of mortals. For one, Episode 11 shows how powerful Morpheus is, given how he drives Madoc to madness. There are other takeaways from the episode.
With the second season uncertain but hopeful, Orpheus appearing seems a real possibility. Showrunner Alan Heinberg has already teased casting Orpheus and the series name-dropping his son makes it likely that we will see the plight of Orpheus in a possible second season.
However, it is possible that Orpheus’s exact death and how he died will be reimagined for the Netflix series for more dramatic flair. Ripped apart by Dionysius' followers, Orpheus only survives as a head thanks to Death. Morpheus refuses to help Orpheus, causing the young musician to disavow his father and in his grief, he ends up suffering a horrible death when he stumbles upon a bacchanal hosted by the god of wine Dionysius. However, this time he's assisted by Destruction and Death, two of the Endless. Sandman writer Neil Gaiman has already introduced Orpheus and put his own spin upon the tale in The Sandman Special #1, which contains a story appropriately titled "The Song of Orpheus." In the comic, Orpheus ventures into the Underworld to save his wife Eurydice. While McAvoy, Tenant, and Sheen do not play their Audible characters in this, it will certainly be a treat for Sandman lovers to see the actors in the live-action series as well.
Gaiman has also stated to EW, that the voice actors in this episode could likely play some role in the live-action series. There isn’t much from this episode that ultimately furthers the plot for Morpheus in any way, but it does let us know that The Sandman is as present in regulating the lives of animals as he is with humans. The kitten through whom we get invited into the world (voiced by Rosie Day) is enamored by the story of the Siamese cat and vows to dream of a new world with her, even when she is comfortable and well taken care of by humans.
This persuades her to go from city to city all across the world preaching to cats everywhere to come together and dream of a world where they are back to their former glory. This led her to Morpheus ( Tom Sturridge) who told her of a world where cats were the Apex predators, larger than humans, and ruled over them until humans banded together to dream of a new world where they were the alphas and eventually brought that dream to fruition through their collective hope.
