Echo is a people pleaser who takes her gift of gab too far. Narcissus is so beautiful, even he can’t stand it.

What happens when these two cross paths?

Inspired by the events in the third book of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Echo et Narcissus (Mythologiae, Vol. I) is perfect for beginning Latin readers.
