你有narcissus的希腊故事么?要英文版的?

Answer 1

Narcissus is said to have been a young man of wonderful beauty,but intolerably proud,fastidious,and disdainful.Pleased with himself and despising all others,he led a solitary life in the woods and hunting grounds with a few companions to whom he was all in all; it followed also wherever he went by a nymph called Echo.Living thus,he came by chance one day to a clear fountain,and (being in the heat of noon) lay down by it; when beholding in the water his own image,he fell into such a study and then into such a rapturous admiration of himself,that he could not be drawn away from gazing at the shadowy picture,but remained rooted to the spot till sense left him; and at last he was changed into the flower that bears his name; a flower which appears in the early spring; and is sacred to the infernal deities,-- Pluto,Proserpine,and the Furies.
