Echo and Narcissus: Greek Myth and Story Summary

Echo and Narcissus is a central episode in Greco-Roman mythology, best known from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where two separate but intertwined tales explore unreturned desire, identity, and transformation. Echo, cursed to repeat the words of others, and Narcissus, condemned by self-obsession, became enduring symbols that continue to shape literature, art, and psychology.
