  • Title: Narcissus and Echo
  • Artist: caiiisar
  • Description:
    A nymph with an unceasingly talkative mouth, cursed only to repeat.
    A man whose own self was the image of perfection in his eyes, forever rooted in place to gaze at his own reflection in a pool of water.
    Echo is the voice you hear calling back in caves and canyons. Narcissus is the gentle bloom on the ground. Echo's love for Narcissus could never amount to his love for himself.

    (Narcissus is the genus that daffodil falls under)

  • There are variations of the myth. The one I'm familiar with has him turned into a flower after pining away at his reflection until his death.

  • Yeah but... why is he rooted down? The story goes he drowns on that pool after an attemp to touch his own reflection on the water...Did you cosplayed the flower? Or Narcisus the man?

  • Thank you to everyone who voted, and especially those who commented on this. I literally could not have done this without you.
