The Tragic Tale of Echo and Narcissus | A Story from Greek Mythology
Echo and Narcissus meet in the mysterious woods of Mount Helicon, an encounter that begins with curiosity, and ends in a shocking twist of fate. Echo is a carefree nymph, who suffers the curse of an angry goddess; Narcissus is a mortal famed for his astonishing good looks, but cold-hearted demeanor. A tragic story of voicelessness, irresistible love, and unexpected transformations ensues, deep in the forests of Greece.
A story from Greek mythology, adapted from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 3), featuring: Echo, Narcissus, Hera, Zeus
