    I think two figures of Greek mythology that I like and I suspect might resonate with many today are that of Sisyphus and Cassandra. I’ve personally felt like both of these figures many times in my life, and I guess both stories just resonate with me .

    I personally dislike Narcissus. Not the story mind you, I just can’t fathom liking the world’s first narcissist.

      This is a twisting of your words to make you smile, not to offend :)

      You identify with the person so arrogant that he tried to cheat not only the gods but death himself, putting the whole of mortal existence in danger - while disliking the hottest bisexual in existence who was tricked into not knowing what reflections were - and then tragically thinking that he met the hottest sea creature in existence!
