Echo offended the goddess Hera by keeping her in conversation, thus preventing her from spying on one of Zeus' amours. To punish Echo, Hera deprived him of speech, except for the ability to repeat the last words of another.

What punishment does echo receive?

Because Echo was so talkative, and actually spread gossip about Hera, the goddess punished the Nymph by making it so that she could only repeat what others said... and nothing else. When Echo fell in love with Narcissus, he was irritated by her inane copying, and he rejected her advances. As a result, the nymph pined away to nothing, so that all that remains of her is her voice.


How does Herbert's use of Echo in his poem Heaven differ from that of the myth?

Herbert uses Echo in "Heaven" to symbolize the reverberation of divine truth and the endless repetition of God's promises. In the myth, Echo is punished for her deceitful ways and is only able to repeat the words of others. Herbert's interpretation focuses on the transformative power of echoing divine truths rather than the punishment of deceit.


What was Echo's flaw?

Echo's "flaw" was her unrequited love for Narcissus. She was not able to overcome his rejection of her. In the Greek myth, she pined away, eventually dying and leaving nothing but her voice, an echo. You go go even further back and say that Echo's sin or flaw was that she was a gossip, and in being a gossip, told Hera something that she didn't wish to hear, which lead to her being punished to only repeat what others say and to never have her own voice again.


A nymph who answer back?

You may be referring to Echo. Sometimes the young and beautiful Nymph, Echo would distract and amuse Zeus' wife Hera with long and entertaining stories, while Zeus took advantage of the moment to ravish the other mountain nymphs. When Hera discovered the trickery she punished the talkative Echo by taking away her voice, except in foolish repetition of another's shouted words. So, all Echo could do was repeat the voice of another.


Why was Echo punished by Hera?

Echo was punished by Hera because she was a nymph who helped Zeus cheat on Hera. Echo did this by distracting Hera and flattering her. When Hera found out, she cursed Echo to repeat the words of others.Echo used to help Zeus get away with his affairs by keeping Hera busy with her continuous talking, so that Zeus and the nymphs he was with would have time to escape. When Hera found out about it she cursed her.


Who is the person that Hera took her ability to speak first in Greek mythology?

Echo. When Zeus was seducing nymphs, Echo used to keep Hera at a distance by chattering incessantly. This way, Hera was unable to catch her cheating husband and the nymphs had time to escape. Hera, however, found out about Echo's deception and punished Echo by taking away control of her tongue, so that she was doomed to never speak before anyone else had spoken yet always echo the last words spoken to her. It was while cursed that Echo fell in love with Narcissus, but as her love was not returned she pined away in grief, leaving nothing but her voice.
