"He is now struck with wonder by what's wonderful in him..."
----Ovid's Myth of Narcissus, translated by Allen Mandelbaum

In the most popular version of the myth of Narcissus, a beautiful young man rejects many adoring suitors and falls in love with his own reflection in a still pool of water.

This myth inspired the psychologists Havelock and Freud to name a pathological love of self, "narcissism."

Narcissism can be a very serious problem, and many psychologists say this disorder is prevalent in our times. But does this concept accurately reflect the myth or contain all that it has to offer us today?

The Greek myth of Narcissus, like the still pond in the story, can offer us a place to reflect on the mysteries of self, other, love, beauty, and more.
