One great myth about sound was the myth about Echo, a minor goddess.

Echo was a beautiful goddess who said something rude to Hera she shouldn't have. Hera put a curse on her so she couldn't form her own words, but only repeat others words.

Now, Hades thought Echo was beautiful and was going to take her as his wife, but a man named Narcissus. All day, Echo waited for the hunter to say something so she could repeat it.

One day Narcissus looked at his reflection in a pool. He saw the most handsome man he had every seen. "I love you," he said to the image. "I love you," repeated Echo, but Narcissus never new she was there.

Narcissus sat there watching his reflection until he wasted away. Echo was grieved that Narcissus didn't love her and she too wasted away.

Sometimes we can still hear Echo repeating our words and how she gradually fades away thinking of her lost love.
