According to greek mythology, echo was a nymph who had a way with words. She used this gift to distract Hera, wife of Zeus, while he sexed up theother nymphs. Hera, infuriated by Echo’s deception, put a curse on her so that shecould no longer speak her own words, only mimicking those spoken to her. Echo fallsin love with Narcissus, who is infatuated with his own reflection and cannot love her.Echo, unable to tell him unless he say so first, fades and becomes the rocks, treesand canyons until only her voice remains, calling piteously to anyone who speaks to her.
