Narcissus and Echo
"As Narcissus was driving deer into the trap, the nymph Echo followed him. That Echo repeated only the last of a string of words, that was Juno's work. Echo was still a body, not just a voice. When she saw the youth wandering through the bushy camps, she glowed like a pine spill in living sulphur. He flees. The despised one slips into the forest; she covers her blushing face with leaves and lives in lonely grottos ever since. As an echo she is heard by all.”
