#Narcissus and Echo

As punishment for his cruel rejection of the nymph Echo, Nemesis cursed Narcissus to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to take his eyes away from the beautiful youth he did not recognise as himself, Narcissus stayed by the side of the water until he wasted away.
I’ve been wanting to draw more mythology pieces for a while now! Here is my interpretation of Echo and Narcissus, a Roman myth from Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Can you imagine the pain, the heartbreak and the anger that Narcissus felt as he find out that the only person who ever captured his interest outside of his own reflection was one who repeated his words back to him?

I wish I had a class where I was assigned to analyze the different versions of the same Greek myths and the messages behind each of them and the common themes. If I had the time to do that and I got graded for it do you guys even understand how much I would love that?

Ovid's Metamorphoses: Narcissus and Echo
So may he himself love, and not gain the thing he loves!

thinking about echo being cursed by juno to not be able to speak unless she is repeating the last words that were spoken to her. thinking about narcissus telling her keep your arms from me! be off! i'll die before i yield to you! and echo, wilting under the weight of her shame, responding i yield to you. thinking about her left alone in those woods, only her voice and bones are left, for all to hear - alive, but just a sound. thinking about narcissus gazing at himself in that pool, and how that false face fools and fuels his delight, and you stretch your arms to me, and when i smile you smile, and when i weep, i've often seen your tears, and to my nod your nod replies, and your sweet lips appear to move in speech, though to my ears your answer cannot reach, oh, i am he. thinking about echo, nothing but a heartbroken sound now, surrounding him in his final moments. thinking about alas! the boy i loved in vain! thinking about narcissus bidding his reflection farewell, and echo responding farewell. thinking.

Just had a great chat about what if Narcissus was a modern day social media influencer. He'd have so much fun with the filters on insta and clock app! Who else would have a blast now? Who would just...hate it? Could Echo work around her curse with text to speech or sign?

I had to find a single inspiration image for a story we’re converting to an audio/visual media. couldn’t find one that encapsulated enough of mood/tone I’m going for so I just made my own.
