\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the most popular stories from ancient Greek and Roman mythology is the story of Narcissus in love with his own watery image. In the Metamorphoses, <\/i>the Roman poet Ovid also includes the story of the nymph Echo\u2019s unrequited love for Narcissus. Rejected by him, she begins to fade away until she exists only as a disembodied voice. The myth was also a popular subject of wall paintings in and around Pompeii. In this paper, I discuss the relationship between the textual and figurative representations of Echo\u2019s voice, and I explore the aesthetic problem of painting a voice.<\/p>\n
