Narcissus was not a god. He was a youth in Greek mythology that fell in love with his reflection in a pool, which resulted in him dying (or fading away) while staring at himself. He was turned into a flower. Partly correct. In Greek mythology, Narcissus (/É‘rˈɪə/; Greek: ÎάÏκισσος, Narkissos) was a hunter from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty. He was the son of a river god named Cephissus and a nymph named Liriope.[1]He was exceptionally proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus died. Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself.
