"Echo: Reflections of Myth, History, and Nature" In Greek mythology, Echo was a nymph cursed by Hera to only repeat the words of others. She met her tragic fate when she fell in love with Narcissus, who rejected her affections and caused her to waste away until all that remained was her voice. The captivating tale of Narcissus and Echo has inspired countless artists throughout history. One such artist, John Passmore Edwards, depicted this mythological duo in his renowned work "Vanity Fair, " capturing the essence of self-obsession and its consequences. Another artistic interpretation can be found in Nikolai Tcherepnin's cover design for "Narcisse. " This evocative artwork beautifully portrays the entwined destinies of Narcissus and Echo amidst an enchanting backdrop.
