Narcissus & Echo

from Your Greek Word On A Sunday · host Emmanuela Lia

(Intro with soft piano music) Hello and welcome to your Greek Word on A Sunday. A weekly , bite-size podcast for anyone curious on language, etymology and connections. I am your host Emmanuela Lia and wherever you are in the world if you want to entertain your brain for a few minutes, this is the podcast for you. Let's go! Νάρκισσος (Narcissos) in Greek mythology was a very handsome young man. He kept admiring his reflection on the river ignoring the call of the Nymph Ηχω (Echo) who was in love with him. As a result the voice of Ηχω started fading leaving only the last syllables of her words to be heard. The Goddess Nemesis got angry and turned Ναρκισσος into a river flower. Since then, the admiration of one's own self is called NARCISSISM and the phenomenon of a voice fading in open spaces ECHO Instagram @yourgreeksunday , Blue Sky @yourgreeksunday.bsky.social email [email protected]
