What does Narcissus Narcosis mean?
Narcosis:
A state of stupor or drowsiness or greatly reduced activity produced by a narcotic drug (heroin
Narcissus:
Narcissus was a very handsome man and many women fell in love with him. One of the women who loved Narcissus was a nymph called Echo. Echo could not speak properly - she could only repeat what was said to her, so she couldn't tell Narcissus that she loved him. Instead, she followed him around, waiting for him to speak to her.
One day, when Narcissus was walking in the woods with some friends, he became separated from them. He called out "Is anyone here?"
Echo replied "Here, Here".
Narcissus called again “Come”, and Echo replied the same.
She stepped forward with open arms but Narcissus refused to accept her love. Echo was so upset that she left and hid in a cave, where she faded with sadness until only her voice was left. Her voice still lives in caves, ready to reply to anyone who calls her.
Echo was not the only person to fall in love with Narcissus. One maiden who had failed to attract him prayed that one day he would fall in love and know the pain of not being loved back.
The goddess Nemesis heard the prayer and granted it. When Narcissus looked in a pond one day, he fell in love with his reflection. He thought that it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He couldn’t bring himself to leave and eventually pined away and died. Where he died a flower grew, and that flower is called a Narcissus (a daffodil).
Narcissus Narcosis
Open to interpretation. Maybe it describes someone who cant operate properly or who is being held back by his conceit. It definitely seems negative.
Reply:Narcissus was a beautiful youth who fell in love with his reflection and died because he fell into the pound he was gazing into - he droned.
