8. MYTH: A TRAVELLER’S TALE PAGE 32 A beautiful girl named Echo offended the goddess Juno. Juno punished Echo by making her repeat what other people say. Echo now had no words of her own. Echo fell in love with a man named Narcissus who was very vain and cruel. Echo repeated whatever Narcissus said but Narcissus wouldn’t even look at her. She faded away due to her sorrow until only her voice was left. Narcissus had done this to many people so the gods punished Narcissus. One day Narcissus saw his reflection in a pool and fell in love with it. He stayed at the pool until he starved to death. In the place he died, the gods had a beautiful flower grow, the narcissus. This flower is still found growing around a lake or pool of water.
