'''Echo''' was a [[nymph]] in [[Greek mythology]]. Because of an affair she had with [[Zeus]], she was cursed by [[Hera]] to be able to speak only by repeating what she heard.
Echo, like all other nymphs, was in love with the handsome mortal [[Narcissus]]. Having no interest in love, Narcissus scorned her, and she pined away until only her voice remained.
