Legends: Echo and Narcissus

Description

In Greek Mythology Echo was a mountain nymph who distracted Hera for Zeus by telling long and amusing stories. When Hera figured out the ruse she punished Echo by taking away her voice, so that she could only repeat what others said.
Echo fell in love with a handsome youth named Narcissus, but was unable to gain his attention.
Narcissus when hunting saw his own reflection in a pond, and was transfixed by it. He stayed looking at himself so long that he died of thirst and hunger. Brokenhearted Echo faded away leaving only her voice behind to repeat the words of others.

... Yes his hair is stolen from Neil -Class of the Titans

You guys forget that Pan loved Echo and went into a frenzy when she didn't return her love, causing his shepherds to rip her apart. Gaia felt bad as she couldn't undo what has been done and scattered her around the world. Also, Echo was a mountain nymph. She wouldn't be blue.
