Narcissus:the tragic death of a young demi-god

Narcissus:the tragic death of a young demi-god

The embodiment of ethereal beauty

Was he, his second name being vanity;

Self-obsessed to the point of insanity;

Ultimately, losing his mind and all clarity.


Words were spoken by people of Thespiae,

That he is even a threat to Aphrodite.

Showered with compliments in bounty

About his enchanting beauty.


On a bank of river, he spent his day.

Admiring his reflection, as he idled away.

Fallen in love was he with the reflection of his;

Ultimately, drowning into his own decease.
