Echo, 1888
I den græske mytologi var bjergnymfen Echo det personificerende ekko. I følge Ovid blev hun straffet af Hera, for at have holdt hende hen med snak mens Zeus havde en affære med en anden skovnymfe. Herefter kunne den snaksalige pige kun gentage hvad andre sagde. Siden forelsker hun sig i den unge smukke Narcissos, men da han afviser hende reduceres hun langsomt til kun stemmen er tilbage.

Echo, 1888
In Greek mythology, the mountain nymph Echo was the personifying echo. According to Ovid, she was punished by Hera for keeping her talking while Zeus had an affair with another forest nymph. After that, the talkative girl could only repeat what others said. Since then she falls in love with the young beautiful Narcissos, but when he rejects her, she slowly reduces until only her voice is left.
Echo (minor planet designation: 60 Echo) is a quite large main-belt asteroid. It was discovered by James Ferguson of the United States Naval Observatory in Washington D.C., on September 14, 1860. It was his third and final asteroid discovery. It is named after Echo, a nymph in Greek mythology. (Source: Wikipedia)
