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.
