Narcissus is originally from a greek myth, in which he looked at himself in his reflection in a pool and fell in love with himself. Narcissus was unable to leave his beatiful reflection, and therefore died on the spot. Joetta relates this to Byron because By looks in the Brown Bomber's [the family car] side view mirror and kisses himself [he thinks he's that beautiful]. When he does this, his lips get frozen to the mirror. See the connection?

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".
