Hera isn't involved directly in the myth of Narcissus, but she was involved with Echo. Echo had a bad habit of repeating things she'd been told in confidence, so to punish her, Hera took away her voice, making her only repeat things other people said.
Later, Echo fell deeply in love with the human hunter Narcissus, but because she could only repeat what he said, he shunned her. After this she pined away until only her voice remained.
