Because Echo was the name of the nymph that (IIRC) Hera punished, by allowing her to only repeat what others say. Hera was a rather nasty ***** of a goddess, with a big jealousy trip. I think Echo was one of Zeus' many "conquests", and since Hera can't really get back at hubie directly, she takes her wrath out on the mistresses, their children, and humanity in general.

Echo also had a big crush on Narcissus, who ended up seeing his reflection in a pool of water, fell in love with his own image, and ended up starving to death. Which is why we call people who spend way too much time in front of the mirror "narcissists".

Eric Flint and David Freer did a hilarious re-take on the greek gods in a book called Pyramid Scheme.

Warning: May be offensive to anyone who worships the greek gods. May cause abdominal pain in others: http://www.webscription.net/10.1125/...067131839X.htm

Really? I put that quote, almost verbatim, under my senior picture in my high school yearbook but I didn't know someone else had said it. Maybe I thought I came up with it but was remembering something I had read long ago. Very interesting.
