Narcissus, Greco-Roman fresco from Pompeii C1st B.C., Naples National Archaeological Museum. NARKISSOS (Narcissus) was a youth of the town of Thespiai (Thespiae) in Boiotia, a son of the river-god Kephisos (Cephisus) and the fountain-nymph Liriope. He was celebrated for his beauty and attracted many admirers but, in his arrogance, spurned them all.

Narcissus cries out one last lament—"Farewell, dear boy. Beloved in vain"—and Echo repeats these words as Narcissus lies down in the grass and dies. As you might have guessed, young girls and nymphs all over the world mourn the death of Narcissus. Together they build a pyre (a big pile of wood) so that they can burn his body.

Narcissus is wearing a vest made of the same material as Mary Magdalene's dress in Caravaggio's The Penitent Magdalene. Especially while still a poor young artist, Caravaggio was known to reuse the same models and costumes in order to save money. Caravaggio conveys a dark melancholy.

Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's idealised self image and attributes. The term originated from Greek mythology, where the young Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water.
