Echo — Greek mythology

Echo — Greek mythology

Echo was a magical wood nymph. Echo had the most beautiful voice. She was very musical and possessed a good and loving heart.
Echo was a wood nymph. The ancient Greeks believed that nymphs were female magical creatures, who lived in the mountains, the rivers, the streams, the lakes, and the forest. Nymphs were not immortal - they could die. If they married a god, however, their children were immortal. Nymphs were believed to look like beautiful young women, and have very kind hearts.
Echo was perhaps the most gentle, the most kind, and possessed a good and loving heart. She was very musical and had a beautiful voice. Echo lived deep in the woods and rejected all suitors, which made her, of course, a favorite of the goddess Artemis (goddess of the hunt.)

Echo 2

The curse of Hera
Zeus was quite attracted to nymphs and often visited them. Hera, his wife, jealous of his various affairs, followed him trying to catch him. However, Echo would engage Hera in long-winded conversations, giving the time to Zeus to evade her. At some point, Hera realised the plot of Echo and cursed her to only be able to repeat the last words that another person just said.

Narcissus rejects Echo
After being cursed, Echo came across a beautiful young man named Narcissus, but was unable to talk to him because of the curse. She simply followed him in the woods. Narcissus, having lost his companions with whom he had gone hunting, started shouting "Is anyone there?" Echo, given the opportunity, repeated the words. He shouted again "Let's come together" to which Echo rushed onto him repeating his words. However, Narcissus rejected Echo, and she was left in despair.

The end of Echo
Narcissus came across a lake and there, he fell in love with his own image, causing his death, unable to move. Echo mourned for him and eventually died away herself, leaving only her voice behind.
