Narcissus (from the Greek Word Νάρκισσος), was a mythological figure, son of the Nypmh Leiriotis and the river Kifissos, renowned for his beauty and vanity. The original greek myths attributed to his death all agree that Narcissus died admiring his reflection on the river and not being able to obtain the object of his affection, literally himself. There are three versions of this myth, one of which attributes his loss to punishment from the Greek Goddess Nemesis.To this day, Greeks still refer to extremely vain people as a "Narcissus".
