The Self Admirer

Narcissus is said to have two different sets of parents: Cephisus & Liriope /Endymion & Selene.

He had no powers. When he died a flower rose up where he

died. The flower was later named the Narcissus flower.

It was also said that he had a twin sister who died, and after that he just looked into the water remembering her.

Narcissus in Greek mythology was a beautiful young man who fell in love with his own reflection. He was told that he would live a long life if he never saw his own reflection, but unfortunately he became callous and rejected all those who loved him.

He eventually came across his reflection in the lake and became obsessed.

As foretold, his beauty would be his downfall. He stared into the pond until he wasted away. The place where he died was the spot that the Narcissus flower was

born.
