Narcissus is a figure from Greek mythology who was so impossibly handsome that he fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. Even the lovely nymph Echo could not manage to tempt him from his self-absorption. Narcissus' name lives on as the flower into which he was transformed and as a synonym for those obsessed with their own appearance. — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store/​/​ — CHAPTERS — 0:00​ Introduction 0:54 Who are Echo and Narcissus? 2:50 The Myth of Echo and Narcissus 7:50 Outro — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — Narcissus https://www.worldhistory.org/Narcissus/ Ovid https://www.worldhistory.org/ovid/ Nymph https://www.worldhistory.org/nymph/ Hera https://www.worldhistory.org/Hera/ Greek Mythology https://www.worldhistory.org/Greek_Mythology/ Roman Mythology https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Mythology/ — WATCH NEXT — Eros-Cupid and Psyche, the Greek and Roman Gods of Love and the Soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzU-_DpLMHE The Roman Goddess Vesta and her Vestal Virgins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TgHyk7h6-o An Introduction to the Ancient Roman Religion and Mythology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkNRUBZ9GjI — ATTRIBUTIONS — You can find all attribution and credits for images, animations, graphics and music here - https://worldhistory.typehut.com/the-myth-of-echo-and-narcissus-15022 The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.
