Is the popular view that Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection still in favour?

Do scholars support this notion or is popular opinion swaying to accept the theory that Narcissus actually had a twin sister and fell in love with her. She died and he gazed at his reflection in the pool to be reminded of her and died of a broken heart.


Which view is more likely.


That he was in love with his sister or himself?


Hopefully this makes sense.

As we know from the greeks , Narcissus didnt like the female sex. He rejected the love Echo , one beautiful nymph.


For that reason Afrodite panished his arrogance by causing him to become obsessed with his own image. He spend his life gazing at his reflection and finally wasted away.


I believe that Narcissus was in love only with himself.
Reply:the view that he fell in love with his own reflection, is the dominant theory, hence the word narcissism...after all ,his twin sister could not be an identical twin , but a fraternal one..and it was his own face that he was in love with...
