Echo was a very beautiful nymph that was in love with the handsome Narcissus. She was favored by Artemis, but annoyed Hera (who found her chatter bothersome). She was punished by Hera, who made her unable to speak unless it was to repeat whatever was said to her.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

A very beautiful music nymph that played many instruments. She tricked the Goddess Hera by telling her stories while Hera's husband Zeus cheated on her with other nymphs. Hera found out and as punishment, Hera took away Echo's voice, making sure she would never again tell stories, only repeat others shouted words.

Later Echo fall's in love with Narcissus, but he turns her down. Heartbroken Echo wanders the forests alone, crying until nothing is left but her voice.

And that is the echo's we know today.
