Echo was a very beautiful and musical nymph who could sing sweetly and expertly play many instruments.
She lives deeply in the woods and denied the love of any mortal or a god. She therefore attracted the hatred and anger of many, including the god Pan, who was the god of music, was turned down. The god Pan caused his followers the shepherds to kill Echo and tear her to pieces that were subsequently scatter far and wide.
Gaea, the mother earth, then received the pieces in her bossom and thus, Echo, scattered now all over the earth, retained the voice and talents answering or imitating every sound or voice.
Narcissus, was a handsome youth, who was then looked at himself in the clear water, he was being " in-loved" to his own body and thus, he was turned into a flower called as "Narcissus" which was a reminder that he loved his own self.
