Other Questions
The tragic story of a beautiful youth becoming enamored with himself comes to life in Narcissus . Impossibly handsome and equally vain, Narcissus rejected the love of a nymph and was punished with the wasting despair of a deep, pining love for his own reflection that could never physically materialize.
