The Nargis, scientifically known as Narcissus poeticus, carries such a legacy. Its western name ‘Narcissus’ originates from a compelling Greek myth – a tale of a handsome young hunter who fell so deeply in love with his own reflection that he drowned gazing at himself in a pond. Ovid told of Narcissus’ story from his birth: Narcissus was fathered by a river god to a nymph named Liriope. Liriope was told by a prophet that Narcissus would reach old age if he failed to recognize himself. Narcissus turned into a very beautiful young man, whom everyone loved.Unbeknown to Narcissus, the Goddess, Aphrodite, had overheard everything. She decided to punish Narcissus for his vanity and treatment of Echo with a curse: the next time he saw his reflection in the water, Narcissus would immediately fall in love… with himself.In both Ovid’s and Pausanias’ versions of Narcissus, Narcissus dies by a pool gazing at his own reflection that he falls in love with.
