Allusion Notes:  Greek Mythology:  Narcissus and Echo

·       Narcissus was a gorgeous male who admired himself enormously.

·       Echo loved him, but he ignored her.

·       Eventually she was cursed with not being able to voice her own thoughts but only repeat what others had said.

·       This bothered Narcissus and he taunted her because of it.

·       She eventually wasted away, with only her voice, repeating the words of others, remaining.

·       Narcissus became so enamored with himself that one day he admired his reflection in a pond.

·       He became stuck there, staring at his beauty.

·       He was stuck there so long that he became a flower that grows there.
