What a beautiful and haunting story. Thanks for sharing.

Echo was perhaps the most gentle, the most kind, and possessed a good and loving heart. Always nice Greek mythology.

Mythology (all varieties) is so interesting...very enjoyable reading.

Ragini Singh

Its quite funny that the goddess never tried to teach a lesson to their husbands. They always cursed the weak one. And it is always same in almost every mythology.

Player #25028854, Always loved mythology. Norse as well.

It's really interesting to find out how some of our everyday words came into common usage. Somehow I don't think the reasons for words like methadone will have quite the same magic.

Chasman

Greek mythology is way more interesting than Christian mythology.

Unlike Echo, I'm not wasting away, I'm getting bigger in the waist from lack of love. We all cope differently, even in Greek mythology.

GreekHound

that's amazing, I am Greek and never heard of this one!

I don't know of the makers of this game will read this, but Echo was not voiceless, she could talk but only repeat what others said.

Jabroni

meldawg, Absolutely, it's part of human heritage and must be preserved.

Heard of 'echolalia'? It's a disorder were a person is compelled to repeat the last bit of what someone else says.. Mostly, in adults, it's kinda like a OCD thing. But as children, it's how we learn to speak
