Narrator D:

Yes, in a sense, he kills her by rejecting her love. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, heard her crying for her unrequited love and was kind to her, for Echo had been a true lover. Quietly and painlessly, Echo pined away and died. But her voice live on, lingering among the rocks and answering faintly whenever Narcissus or another called.

Yes, that’s Echo, and that’s how she is always remembered. The fate of Narcissus was now in the hands of Aphrodite.

I’m afraid so.

No, he just sits by its side day after day, looking at the only face in the world he loved but could not win. He pined away just as Echo did. Slowly Narcissus faded away, and at last his heart broke.

Narrator D: Yes, in a sense. He kills her by rejecting her love.

Narrator C: So Echo dies?

Narrator D: Aphrodite, the goddess of love, heard her crying for her unrequited love and was kind to her, for Echo had been a true lover. Quietly and painlessly, Echo pined away and died. But her voice lived on, lingering among the rocks and answering faintly whenever Narcissus or another called.

Narrator C: So when we hear an echo in the mountains or in caves, that’s Echo’s voice.
