Echo
An echo is a nymph from Greek mythology who was cursed by Hera to repeat only the last words spoken to her. This curse prevented Echo from speaking her own thoughts and emotions, leaving her to echo the words of others.
Echo was punished by Hera and could only repeat the words of others.
In Greek mythology, the nymph Echo was condemned to repeat the last words spoken to her. This punishment was inflicted by Hera, who was angered by Echo for distracting her while Zeus pursued other nymphs. As a result, Echo could only mimic the speech of others and ultimately fell in love with Narcissus, who was unable to return her affection. Her unrequited love led her to fade away until only her voice remained, giving rise to the phenomenon of echoes.

As the great philosopher Georges Santayana said, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it". In other words, if you understand your past history you can learn from your mistakes and not repeat them in the future. However this also means you can learn from your successes and endeavour in future to use the same techniques where possible to ensure future success.
Hera cursed Echo to only be able to repeat the last words spoken to her, as a punishment for distracting her while Zeus was with another nymph. This left Echo unable to speak of her own accord, and she could only echo the words of others.
