Narcissus was so handsome that many women and men fell in love with him. He rejected all of them. One of his admirers was Ameinias who was so devastated by Narcissus's indifference toward him that he killed himself. Before doing so, however, Ameinias called on the gods to punish Narcissus. They caused the beautiful youth to gaze into a pond at his reflection. He fell in love with his own image and drowned trying to touch it. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the Narcissus.
