Who fell in love with Narcissus and pined away until only her voice was left?

Explanation:
This tale tests knowledge of a famous myth about unrequited love and its lasting trace. Echo, a nymph, falls for Narcissus, but a curse prevents her from speaking except by repeating the words others say. She lovers Narcissus, but he does not return her affection, and she withers away until only her voice remains—hence the name and idea of an echo. Psyche’s story is about love and trials leading to eventual immortality, not about pining away into a voice. Calliope is a muse associated with epic poetry, not a figure who pined for Narcissus. Penelope is Odysseus’s faithful wife who waits at home, not someone who fades away in pursuit of Narcissus.
