According
to ancient Greek legend, there was in a State named Thebes, there lived a very
famous astrologer named Tiresias. It is said that his predictions always come
true and proven, many people came to him to predict the fate and ask for
guidance and advice
Once upon a time there came in a fairy god Cephissus liriope wife and his son who called Narsisus, the fairy asked the seer Tiresias to predict the future
of their children. "Can my son get through his life until old age?". And the astrologer replied "probably could, if he never knows
himself".
Narcicus grows and time passes so dashing and handsome young man, by his beauty many Elves fell love with him, admired and praised by anyone who saw it, he is so charming. But all the privileges and praise and admiration for him Narsisus make someone a very proud, too proud of himself, selfish, and as if only he was the most perfect creature.
Even so apparently beautiful fairy named Echo crazy to Narsisus. So infatuated that everywhere Narsisus go Echo always follow him around. But unfortunately the Echo could not speak normally, he could only repeat the words of the last sentence that said the person, this is a result of the curse Of Jupiter's wife Juno is angry because the Echo is too much to ask. With her condition made Echo unable to speak out his heart, but her love did not dampen the buoyant pace to approach Narsisus.
On one occasion
Echo
follow
Narsisus
and
get
Narsisus
jungle
alone,
he
too
approached
him
...
but
what
he
gets?. Echo condition Narsisus see any mocking and drove to not approach
him again. Of course Narsisus humiliation makes it very hurt and embarrassed. Echo was gone she was
very shocked and saddened, he ran the forest, across the hills and disappeared.
The gods
are
looking
for
Echo
also
never
found
it,
only
that
his
voice
was
echoing
shout
imitating
anyone
who
called
him
but
his
form
was
never
seen. Narsisus treatment who had no sympathy to the Echo, and his pride, making Nemesis angry gods and cursed the arrogant Narsisus to fall in love with himself.
What happened to Echo does not make narsisus feel guilty. "It's not my fault, which I have is myself,
No one has the right over me ".
No one has the right over me ".
And as usual narsisus go Forestry and lay lingering lakeside, looking into the water to look at the shadow of his handsome, do not get enough of enjoying the beauty of his face, he was fascinated by his own handsomeness. His heart trembled she was stunned, there is a sense of turmoil she fell in love with his own reflection, want to touch it .. extended his hand into the water, wanting to reach the shadow.
Rippling water, shadows disappeared, he waited for the water calmed down .. and repeatedly grabbed back the shadow and the result is always the same, Narsisus disappointed .. .. annoyed her tormented, frustrated and unconsciously he slid down to the lake and drowned ...
Any natural grieving leaves fall ... calm lake water back into quiet woods ...
And where the lake where Narsisus fall grew beautiful flowers. And people call that flower Narsisus.
