from the greek mythology series
Son of the river god Cephissus, he is known for his beauty. Cursed by Aphrodite for cruelly dismissing Echo’s feelings towards him, he stumbles upon his reflection in a pool of water. Enamored with his image and unable to pull his gaze away, he ends up wasting away and dying.
Daffodils are a symbol for Narcissus. As are selfies.
