Mythological Feedback Loops: Echo and Narcissus

The Greek tale of Narcissus & Echo teaches us the dangers of self-obsession and how pursuing a love that will not reciprocate will cause us to waste away.

The Gods are Alive channel explores mythologies and their modern equivalents. Monsters and Gods may or may not be fictional, but they are very much alive in some form or another today. And whatever be their driving force: love, hate, fear, jealousy, pride, humility… we cover it, learn from it, and hopefully, all be better for it.
