This the story of Narcissus and [[Echo]]. An earlier version ascribed to the poet Parthenius of Nicaea, composed around 50 BC, was recently rediscovered among the Oxyrhynchus papyri at Oxford.[2] Unlike Ovid's version, this one ends with Narcissus committing [[suicide]]. A version by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conon_(mythographer) Conon], a contemporary of Ovid, also ends in suicide (Narrations, 24). A century later the travel writer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pausanias_(geographer) Pausanias] recorded a novel variant of the story, in which Narcissus falls in [[love]] with his twin sister rather than himself (''Guide to Greece'', 9.31.7)
