Echo was a nymph whose power of speech was curtailed by Hera, so that she merely repeated the concluding phrases of a speech and returned the words she heard.
But it is also said that Echo fell in love with Narcissus, who spurned her love, and that she, because of her grief, faded away with the exception of her voice.
Echo, they say, disappeared from woods and mountains so completely that not even her bones remained, which were turned into stone.

  Echo's Reply   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Echo, who faded away until she was nothing but a voice, never quite made it to ism.
Echo is a natural phenomenon, but not a complex or a syndrome.While she might make a brief appearance in a feminist cautionary tale about girls too eager to agree with men, her story has never been given the creative rewriting enjoyed by other myths.
Echo's very existence, then, is subversive; even before her words register with the hearer, before they are established as bearers of meaning, they are voice, they say, I'm here, I'm alive.

 Review: Mark Siegel's Echo and Narcissus, reviewed by David Soyka
n Roman mythology, Echo is a nymph who is powerless to speak except to repeat back what is said to her, a curse placed by the goddess Juno in retribution for Echo's interference in a marital tiff.
Echo's unrequited love (the result of both her inability to communicate her feelings and the self-centeredness of her beloved) for Narcissus causes her to waste away until nothing but her echoing voice remains.
When Echo unwittingly betrays Juno, she is hexed with the fate of her namesake (while retaining the ability to sing without prompting).

 echo personality Disorder.....Inverted Narcist?????????
The term Echo Personality Disorder was coined by British Psychosynthesis practitioner Patrick Hurst, as a replacement term for 'Inverted Narcissism' and 'Covert Narcissism' which later terms place unwarranted emphasis on narcissistic qualities of the personality, which in many of these individuals may not be a feature at all.
In this myth Echo, a forest nymph, falls in love with the egocentric youth Narcissus, and when he shows clear signs of rejecting her she persists in her attatchement, and will not be moved from her aim.
Echo also has relations with Zeus, Hera, Pan, and Gaia, which have a different coloration to those she has with Narcissus, and has many friends in the form of other forest nymphs -"sisters" as we would call them today; attesting to the complexity we find within the Echo personality constellation.

 Echo
In their mythology, Echo was an oread -- a mountain nymph -- who could not speak on her own but only repeat the words of others (in our own time, she might be thought autistic).
As I drew nearer and nearer, I noticed that the length of time between the clap and the echo grew shorter and shorter, until, when I stood directly between the wings, there was no echo at all (or rather, the echo was instantaneous and therefore not distinguishable).
Echo is not always an oread; she can be a nereid as well.

 Narcissism: Echo Personality Disorder article
The term Echo Personality Disorder was coined by British Psychosynthesis practitioner Patrick Hurst, as a replacement term for 'Inverted Narcissism' and 'Covert Narcissism' which later terms place undue emphasis on object choices (such as choosing a narcissistic individual as a mate) at the expense of other dynamics of the personality.
In this myth, Echo -a forest nymph- falls in love with the egocentric youth Narcissus, and when he shows clear signs of rejecting her she persists in her attatchement, and will not be moved from her aim.
Echo also has relations with Zeus, Hera, Pan, and Gaia, which have a different coloration to those she has with Narcissus, and she also has many friends in the form of other forest nymphs -"sisters" as we would call them today; which attests to the variety we can find within the Echo personality constellation.

 Narcissus myths, Part I
Echo's central myth within this cult binds her to the erotic nature-divinity, Pan, to whom she was reluctantly betrothed, & by whom she bore a daughter, Jynx or Yunx, who cast a spell that caused Zeus to fall in love with Io, for which reason Hera turned Jynx into a wryneck bird.
Echo's disdain for marriage would have been quite normal for huntress-goddesses or nymphs of Artemis, yet Echo may have taken her disdain for all things connubial to extremes, & insulted Dionysios when she refused to participate in the violent drunken dance of the maenadic Oreiades or Hill-nymphs at Dionysios' wedding.
When Echo received prayers, her worshippers would call blessings into a deep niche which was immediately beside a niche wherein Demeter was enthroned, & from out Echo's empty niche or cavern the blessings would be called back three times to those who adored Her.
