Echo and Narcissus
Distraught with grief, [s]he locked [her]himself in a deep cave at the foot of the mountain, where Coriolanus [Narcissus] used to go hunting. And there with [her] his beautiful harmonious voice [s]he continued to invoke [her] his beloved for days and nights. In vain because Coriolanus [Narcissus], who heard the anguished call, never came.
Snowjanus week prompt day 3: Mythology
Note: I didn't have time to write anything, so have this moodboard! This isn't the idea I wanted to use for my fic, so another myth au will probably appear guys stay tuned. (kinda took inspo from @sleepy-gee when I saw his own and went "I'll do one too to still participate today", hope you don't mind 🫶🏻)
I suggest clicking on the photo for better quality!

La belleza es una manifestación del genio; está incluso por encima de este, puesto que no necesita explicación.

Echo: Don’t you think it would be better to date an old friend? Someone you might’ve taken for granted?
Narcissus: No. I like me. Me.

BOTD:
Love John William Waterhouse. Languid, sensual, gods and myths galore - so me. As I'm posting this across social media, I had to leave Echo out of the frame - she has breasts, and I can't remember which sites are afraid of them, and which aren't.
Anyway, Happy 175th john!
