He knew well because although man was born for a few years was woman for having abused the bodies of two snakes. People would ask him for his answers were always correct. The first was that there was a beautiful nymph Liriope the blue I had a beautiful son, Narcissus, and wanted to know if he would live many years. The soothsayer predicted: "If you get to know '. wildlife Time would prove the certainty of this nonsense response.
Narcissus since he was sixteen years old and enjoyed a delicate beauty. Many young girls and many wished, but was so arrogant that nobody had touched my heart.
