In [[Greek mythology]], '''Narcissus''' or '''Narkissos''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] '''Νάρκισσος'''), was a hero of the territory of [[Thespiae]] in [[Boeotia]] who was renowned for his beauty and his pride. Several versions of his myth have survived: [[Ovid]]'s, from his ''[[Metamorphoses (poem)|Metamorphoses]];'' [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]]', from his ''Guide to Greece,'' (9.31.7); and one found among the [[Oxyrhynchus]] [[papyri]].
