Echo and Narcissus Utah Arts Festival, Salt Lake City, Utah. Pavement art by Kurt Wenner.Ovid, in the Metamorphoses, tells the story of Echo, a talkative nymph who was cursed only to repeat the words of others. She fell in love with the handsome hunter Narcissus, who rejected her. She prayed to Aphrodite, who made her invisible, though her voice may still sometimes heard. Narcissus was so self-absorbed that he fell in love with his reflection and wasted away. He was transformed into a narcissus, a flower that still blooms near shores and riverbanks, where its reflection may be seen. -- source link
