ECHO A mountain nymph, who was a servant of Hera, but had to be kept at a distance, due to her talkativeness. She was loved by the god Pan, but conceived a passion and love for Narcissus, a son of the river god Kephissos:a passion that, unfortunately, he did not return. Echo grieved at this, and pined away day by day, until only her voice was left her. She then took to the woods that Pan frequented, occupying herself by mimicking every vocal sound she heard.
