In Greek mythology, Echo (Greek Ἠχώ) was an Oread (a mountain nymph) who loved her own voice. Zeus loved consorting with beautiful nymphs and visited them on Earth often. Eventually, Zeus's wife, Hera, became suspicious, and came to Earth in an attempt catch Zeus with the nymphs.

Echo wanted to save her nymph friends, so she talked to Hera incessantly in order to distract her and allow time for Zeus and the nymphs to leave. However, Hera eventually interrupted Echo and went into the field where Zeus and the nymphs had been. When she saw the field was empty, Hera realized what Echo had done and punished her.

Ovid's version of events states that Zeus employed Echo to occupy Hera whilst he continued with his adulteries. Hera soon saw through this ruse and punished her so that she could say only the last words of other people's sentences (echolalia). She could not speak of her own accord and so was deprived of the thing she loved the most.

In the time of Echo's suffering, there was a human named Narcissus. He was so handsome that every girl or boy that saw him immediately fell in love with him. But Narcissus had no heart, and loved no one.

One day, Echo met Narcissus and, like every other girl and boy, fell in love with him. Echo could not speak to him, but she had felt she needed to see him. So Echo followed him, just enough to see him, but not enough to be seen.

Narcissus became lost and called out, "Is anyone here?"

Echo said, "Here, here, here."

Narcissus told whoever was there to come out. Echo came out and, because she couldn't talk, used her hands to show Narcissus how much she loved him. Narcissus, annoyed that so many people liked him, rejected her love. Echo, heart-broken, prayed to Aphrodite for death. Her prayer was answered, but Aphrodite loved her voice, so she let her voice live on.

Answer 2

Narcissius is a greek god who was in love with himself.
Echo was the beaituful nymph who love Narcissius. she could not talk, only repeat the last words of others. But Narcissus did not love her back. In fact, he was downright cruel to her. The unhappy Echo hid away and wasted away until all that was left of her was her voice. The gods decided to punish Narcissus for this. He was brought to a pool, where he fell in love with his own reflection. From that time on, he could not tear himself away from the pool, hopeless and desperate. Finally the gods took pity on him and turned him into a flower that grew near the pool.
I don't know about his mum...
