The Tragic Tale of Echo and Narcissus | A Story from Greek Mythology

[@marymcclanahan1757]

That’s what I became after living with a narcissist for thirty years-an echo, unable to safely speak for my own self. The only safe way to behave, to avoid his rage, was to speak only in ways that echoed what was important to him. I finally left him and I escaped the curse, and slowly built back my own true self. This myth is very real to me.

Your story is nothing like this one. Completely different.

I was just thinking about an old children's song, "Little Sir Echo", then i found this enthralling tale.

It 's a legend from Greece.

Just a warm feeling about both.

It’s so irritating that Hera did nothing to punish Zeus and punished Echo instead!

[@danutacharlassier5512]

like in life often women fight among themselves for a man instead punishing unfaithful man

[@guillermomagallon7586]

@@danutacharlassier5512 this applies to everyone we often target the other person and let out our frustrations unto them while the real culprit gets off Scot-free.

Before common sense and logic applied to the world. Gods also had some learning to do 😁

Spell-binding narration!

[@jamessential]

My ex accused me of being a narc and that hurt like hell. Thinking that's what she thought of me. When she abused me, id go silent and refuse to speak to her unless she acknowledged any pain she caused or apologised. She never did. I suffered years of passive agressive comments, sarcasm, gas lighting, name calling. I had to escape my own house at 4am to get away from.her after a 6 hour tirade of verbal abuse and some physical violence. I still love her, at least i think i do. To me she's the most beautiful and mysterious woman on earth. Hearing this story has altered my perspective a little..i questioned myself and still do, am i a narcissist. But i out that doen to a lack of self worth, and self-awareness. In the end though, i think we all have narc tendsncies due to the selb absorbed cukture we live in. Maybe i did make her feel bad, but i didn't deserve being emasculated and belittled by her. I'll never become.submisosve to a woman like that again. I believe she was the narcissist. And i relate to echo, walkinf on egg shells and only repeating the words of others.

Echo🌱🌳 loved her own voice and loved to hear herself talk to the point where she became a blabbermouth. Echo is known for gossip. Narcissus✨😘 fell in love with his own reflection thinking it’s a man or a water nymph in the water. Narcissus is known for vanity.

[@narcisoanasui246]

Ahhhh I see

[@reyoureal]

This is not the way I read this story the first time. Not surprising huh. ✨

Thank you!

Wild story. Next time I go to the mountains i will listen for the echos.

[@nostruggleloveallowed9029]

Well told story I’ve never heard this one before

[@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503]

Nicely told

[@goodonmyend2]

Narcissus was all beauty and no brains . I never heard the story if Echo , but I would always call people that would talk about people's business that . They can't keep anything to themselves .

[@deewesthill4705]

Echo's sisters should have come to help her by explaining her problem to Narcissus.

[@savagedarksider5934]

Narcissus is the kind of guy who would reject Aphrodite if given the opportunity.

Echo shut up stop saying the same song in my head over and over again I’m taking care of your daffodils. I’ve been trying to take care of your flowers and feed them. I have thousands of them and I save them from the dump you forget so easily if you keep continuing Putting thoughts inside my head, what will happen is when they throw all the daffodil bulbs out again this year coming up, I might not be able to remember to save them to be able to protect you. I’ve been honest if you cannot project the thoughts to me that I need to know about, and maybe remind me when I need to do something you’re going to perish because I won’t be able to remember to protect you in April and if I don’t have a farm that has land available to put you in because you screwed with my mind all year, you won’t have a place to live either Just because you’re in the afterlife does it mean you don’t have feelings in fact, you probably can read what I’m going to send you right now Be kind kind of my head it’s not that many farmers out there I want to protect you
