Echo and Narcissus: A Doomed Romance 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

That’s what I became after living with a narcissist for thirty years-an echo, unable to safely speak for my own self. The only safe way to behave, to avoid his rage, was to speak only in ways that echoed what was important to him. I finally left him and I escaped the curse, and slowly built back my own true self. This myth is very real to me.

It’s so irritating that Hera did nothing to punish Zeus and punished Echo instead!

@danutacharlassier5512 2 года назад

like in life often women fight among themselves for a man instead punishing unfaithful man

@@danutacharlassier5512 this applies to everyone we often target the other person and let out our frustrations unto them while the real culprit gets off Scot-free.

My ex accused me of being a narc and that hurt like hell. Thinking that's what she thought of me. When she abused me, id go silent and refuse to speak to her unless she acknowledged any pain she caused or apologised. She never did. I suffered years of passive agressive comments, sarcasm, gas lighting, name calling. I had to escape my own house at 4am to get away from.her after a 6 hour tirade of verbal abuse and some physical violence. I still love her, at least i think i do. To me she's the most beautiful and mysterious woman on earth. Hearing this story has altered my perspective a little..i questioned myself and still do, am i a narcissist. But i out that doen to a lack of self worth, and self-awareness. In the end though, i think we all have narc tendsncies due to the selb absorbed cukture we live in. Maybe i did make her feel bad, but i didn't deserve being emasculated and belittled by her. I'll never become.submisosve to a woman like that again. I believe she was the narcissist. And i relate to echo, walkinf on egg shells and only repeating the words of others.

Echo🌱🌳 loved her own voice and loved to hear herself talk to the point where she became a blabbermouth. Echo is known for gossip. Narcissus✨😘 fell in love with his own reflection thinking it’s a man or a water nymph in the water. Narcissus is known for vanity.

Echo's sisters should have come to help her by explaining her problem to Narcissus.

Narcissus is the kind of guy who would reject Aphrodite if given the opportunity.

Narcissus was all beauty and no brains . I never heard the story if Echo , but I would always call people that would talk about people's business that . They can't keep anything to themselves .
