Why Echo was forced to echo?




Echo was an Oread nymph of Mount Cithairon in Boeotia. Hera cursed her to only repeat the last words of what was said before. This was a punishment for distracting her with chatter. Echo was loved by the god Pan. Echo was enamored in Narcissus, though. Even after Echo's youth faded away, Echo's repeating voice lived on.
