1/1

Narcissus was a beautiful looking boy. Hehad long, flowing, blond hair, beautiful,bright, blue eyes and even, white teeth.Many young ladies fell in love with himincluding the nymph; Echo.

Nymphs were lively spirits who lived nearstreams and lakes and protected trees inthe forest. Echo had upset the Queen of

the Gods; Hera. As a punishment Heramade Echo unable to speak except torepeat the last three words of the personshe was talking to.

Poor Echo fell in love with Narcissus butcould never tell him how she felt.Narcissus teased her and she ran awaywith tears pouring down her face.Aphrodite, the goddess of love saw whathappened and decided to punishNarcissus. As he came to a pool of water

Narcissus saw his reflection and fell inlove with the vision he saw...it was ofcourse his own reflection.

Poor Narcissus watched his ownreflection, every time he tried to touchthe face of the vision he loved it brokeup on the shimmering surface of thewater. Narcissus stopped eating, lost hisbeautiful looks and pined for his love.Eventually he faded away and died.

Aphrodite took pity on him and made aflower grow in his place on the bank ofthe lake. Narcissus flowers can be foundto this day growing wherever you canfind water and trees.
