picspam edit: Narcissus x Echo (for @papakoscheis who requested a personal favorite myth story)

“Narcissus was a youth of the town of Thespiai in Boiotia. He was celebrated for his beauty and attracted many admirers but, in his arrogance, spurned them all. The suffering of two of these, however, would bring down a curse upon him.

The nymph Echo - a girl cursed by Hera to repeat only the last words of what was said before - was rejected by the boy and fading away in despair left behind nothing but an echoing voice.”
