I can see the one about Orpheus and Eurydice, but there are many more: the part in the song about wishing to change someone into a raging river is like the myth of Alpheus and Arethusa, in which Athena changes Arethusa into a river to escape Alpheus; the myth of Bauchis and Philemone in which they're turned into trees by the gods for their hospitality; the myth of Pyramus and Thisbe in which there literally is a wall that separates them; and finally the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, in which he made a statue of the most beautiful woman, he fell in love with it.
