I need to write an story about the Orfeu's mith, I need source material and/or cool insights about it's exoteric/magical meaning, and the lore of its chars. I don't wanna, how can I say, any book inspired on it coz I'm trying to make my own version.

Explain
Ovid's Metamorphoses and the Argonautica Orphica. For info on 'Orphicism' see 'Redefining Ancient Orphism: A Study in Greek Religion'. I've read through a bunch of books on the topic and that one was by far the best that I've encountered.
While it's not literary, the Marcel Camus film 'Black Orpheus' will definitely give you something to think about, it's an adaptation of the myth set in a Brazilian favela in the 60s.
