PRESENTATION OUTLINE
NARCISSUS WAS BORN TO A NYMPH LIRIOPE.
IT WAS SAID BY THE ORACLE THE NARCISSUS WOULD LIVE A LONG LIFE, AS LONG AS HE NEVERS KNOWS OF HIMSELF.
FOR A LONG TIME,
THE WORdS REMAINED UNEXPLAINED, BUT SOON THE ORACLE WAS PROVEN RIGHT.
NARCISSUS WAS HUNTING,
WHEN A NYMPH NAMED ECHO SAW HIM.
ECHO WAS AN EAGER CHATTERBOX,
TIL HERA LIMITED HER SPEECH
TO WHERE SHE CAN ONLY REPEAT THE LAST WORDS OF OTHERS.
ECHO LOVED nARCISSUS
BUT NARCISSUs DIDN'T LOVE HER.
NARCISSUS DID NOT LOVE ANYONE,
UNTIL HE SAW HIMSELF.
HE BENT DOWN TO DRINK FROM A LAKE
AND SAW HIS REFLECTION AND INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE.
HE WAS SO IN LOVE WITH HIMSELF
HE FORGOT TO DRINK, HE FORGET TO EAT..
HE SLOWLY WITHERED AWAY AND DIED
AND ALL ECHO COULD DO WAS WATCH, SADLY.
HERMES CAME AND LED NARCISSUS AWAY
TO THE UNDERWORLD.
WHERE NARCISSUS ONCE WAS,
A BEAUTIFUL NARCISSUS FLOWER GREW.
