The Myth of Narcissus

[@pneumatasaur]

Very well done. I love this myth. Also, Narcissus was reported to still be looking at his own reflection in hades. Remember Persephone? She reminds us of the belief that we spend half of our lives in another world,switching between life and spirit. The Elysium fields are filled with people who, like narcissus, never awoke from the dream enough to realise that they were living. People are echos of what they could or should be. If you tie this in with the duel creation of man in the bible, the first being spirit, the second the body, Echo and Narcissus, one and the same? First in life, the person being so lost in the beauty of living that it shuns the true love inside the soul; living only a reflection of the the life that it could. Then in death the spirit repeats the same hollow dreams, never awaking to understand itself.

Great video

good analysis

[@fratertenc7589]

How is the "top of the heap" defined exactly, or generally? Interesting as I expected it to be more about the myth but it turned into a tangent of sorts. In a good way, I mean, though :)

+Frater Tenc We would define "top of the heap" generally as being in the top fifty percent, which we mention in the video.

The author didn't understand anything. Did you hear from the versions of the myth of Pausanias, Probus, Konon - beside that of Ovid? How do you integrate those different versions? You didn't read Wieseler (1856) - "Narkissos". Look at google: books.google.de/books/about/Narkissos.html?id=uB5BAAAAcAAJ&redir_esc=y
