Echo was a nymph, that loved her own voice. She used to entertain Hera as a distraction, so that Zeus could have affairs with the other nymphs.
Hera found out what Echo was doing, and cursed her. The curse made it so Echo could only repeat back the words of others.
Echo later came across and fell in love with the very handsome Narcissus. Narcissus leaned over to see his reflection in the lake. Being a vain person, he fell in love with his own reflection. He would mutter words of love to himself, which Echo would repeat. He never left his reflection to eat or drink, and slowly withered.
Echo began to despair, and eventually took his hunting knife and killed him. The first Narcissus flowers came from the droplets of his spilled blood.
