The poem “Love and Death” is a mythical poem which is based on Indian epic, The Mahabharata and the Greek Mythical story, Orpheus and Eurydice. In this paper, I focus the light on the poem from the angle of mythical point. The theme of love predominates over death. Here the hero, Ruru due to his youthfulness and deep passion for love makes an arduous journey for entering into the kingdom of death to meet Yama, to get back the life of his beloved Priyumvada. Thus the whole journey and his struggle against the God of death in patala for the soul of his beloved are described from mythical point.
