Countless nymphs and mortal women were spurned by the arrogant youth. It had been prophesied at the time of his birth, that he would live a long life, provided he never saw his own reflection. So Nemesis made it so that the handsome man saw his own visage in a still pool, and there is pined away, ever wanting of the apparent nymph he saw, but never knowing it was only himself that he was in love with.

The narcissus flower symbolizes this self-love and the tragic consequences of obsession.
