Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Narkissus
The son of the nymph, Leiriope, and the river, Kephisos (Cephisus) who rejected the love of the beautiful nymph, Ekho (Echo).
Either Aphrodite (goddess of Love) or Nemesis (Divine Retribution) punished his arrogance by causing him to become obsessed with his own image; he spent his life gazing at his reflection and finally wasted away; after death he was transformed into a flower that still bears his name, the Narcissus.
