Browse era →In this episode, host Psyche shares her version of the classic Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus. She tells the story of Echo, a nymph who worked for the goddess Hera but was cursed for gossiping too much - condemned to only repeat the words spoken by others. The tale continues with Narcissus, a beautiful prince who encounters his reflection in a forest pool and becomes obsessed with it. Echo, hidden nearby, can only echo his words back to him, creating a tragic miscommunication where her genuine love is perceived as mocking. The story reaches its climax when Narcissus, frustrated and still fixated on his reflection, eventually drowns trying to reach the person he believes is in the pool, transforming into the narcissus flower. Echo is left heartbroken by the tragedy. Psyche concludes with a moral lesson about the dangers of self-obsession, warning listeners not to fall in love with their own reflection as it might lead to death.
