...Narcissus flower and its Greek myth

[sunshine]

Narcissus flower, the story according to the Greek myth.




Narcissus had a twin sister whom he loved better than anyone else in the world.This sister died when she was young and very beautiful.Narcissus missed her so very much that he wished he might die too.
One day, as he sat on the ground by a spring, looking absently into the water and thinking of his lost sister, he saw a face like hers, lookingup at him. It seemed as if his sister had become a water-nymph and were actually there in the spring, but she would not speak to him.
Of course the face Narcissus saw was really the reflection of his own face in the water, but he didn`t know that.So Narcissus leaned over the water and looked at the beautiful face so like his sister`s and wondered what it was and whether he should ever see his sister again.
After this, he came back to the spring day after day and looked at the face he saw there, and mourned for his sister, untill, at last, the gods felt sorry for him and changed him into a flower.
This flower was the first Narcissus.All the flowers of this family, when they grow by the side of a pond or stream, still bend their beautiful heads and look at the reflection of their own faces in the water.
