There was a handsome young man named Narcissus. He was the son of the river god Kefiss. Nymph Echo, captivated by its beauty, suffered severely from undivided love. Eventually, Echo went to the mountains and died there, leaving her voice.

It so happened that the heart of the young man did not reciprocate. In punishment Nemesida prophesied Narcissus to experience once an all-consuming feeling of unrequited love. And soon the prophecy came true: on a hot day, the young man bent over the stream to quench his thirst and, seeing his own reflection in the mirror-smooth surface of the water, froze. Narcissus was fascinated, in love with unconsciousness. He did not sleep, did not eat, only admired himself until he died. On the spot where the soul left the body, a beautiful lonely flower grew up with a drooping head.
