He was so cruel that he disdained those who loved him. As divine punishment he falls in love with a reflection in a pool, not realizing it was his own, and perishes there (an other version says he drawns trying to reach his reflection), not being able to leave the beauty of his own reflection. He turned into a flower, which blooms by the side of streams and ponds, but faces downward at the water's surface.
Several versions of his myth have survived.
