A Tale about Narcissism.
– from before the glass kind.
– a Greek legend in summary.
——————————————-
Narcissus is the son of a river god and a nymph, who grows to be so beautiful that he finds he is loved and admired wherever he goes yet finds no one to whom he can return the same affection.
Echo is a nymph who is cursed with only being able to repeat the last sounds and words of others.
One day Echo sees Narcissus out in the woods and falls madly in love with him. She makes herself known to him but can only repeat what he says and just like her predecessors – is rejected.
Narcissus catches sight of his own reflection in a still pond and is immediately captivated.
Who is this beauty?
He desires to know!
