Ovid'sMetamorphoses is a continuous poem, not a collection like his books of elegies. There is no independent poem "Echo and Narcissus" as such in theMetamorphoses, and this is also a myth that continues in later Western art and literature. "Echo and Narcissus" may(may) be distinguishable fromNarcissus (mythology), and Ovid seems to have been the one who introduced Echo into the Narcissus tradition, so maybe it's OK as an article. But not as it stands. I'll change "poem" to "episode."Cynwolfe (talk)15:11, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The page "Echo.html," anchored with "Technology Studies Illinois" in References is a dead link. Pity: that's always an interesting association.
I like them because even before 2001 and IBM +1 = HAL came along,The Daily Illini nominated me for Secretary of Defense on the Pigasus ticket running in 1968. 'Bout the same time, Don Bitzer, head of the Engineering School, got his hands on the first ruby laser available to consumers, used it to plumb up the supports for the roof of his back yard swimming pool. Technology in action!
But Narcissus loving Echo is just too delicious these days. Didn'tMetamorphoses have a bunch of stories about foxes, too?

Since this is totally irrelevant, I'd like to no what's it? Paid advertisement by David Revoy? Has Wikipedia decayed that much?~2025-33072-30 (talk)05:18, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
