Today's episode explores the ancient myth of Narcissus & Echo - paying close attention to Ovid's take on the myth from his book Metamorphoses.

The word Narcissist is commonly used these days, but the myth itself remains in the background. Today it is brought into the middle of the discussion and looked to for ways to heal the condition of Narcissism as an individual ailment, as well as a modern cultural phenomenon.

Rafael López-Pedraza's book Hermes and his Children is referenced in the episode.
