1. Nisus And Scylla: This myth relates to the idea of dark dangerous love again, a love present in other myth and greek works like Medea.

2. Echo And Narcissus: Echo also experiences the punishment of defying the gods and the pain of love.

3. Clytie: I love that the sunflower was explained in this way. The ancients must have been overcome to see a moving flower a flower that followed no less than the sun. And as love is such a powerful and dangerous theme in greek and roman mythology that they must have assumed that the flower was in love with the sun.
