The story of Narcissus is a man who is reknowned greatly for how handsome he is. He goes hunting one day, and, when he stops to drink from a pool of water, sees his own reflection in the water. Not knowing it's his reflection, he falls in love with it and stays with it forever and eventually dies of thirst, animal, hunger, etc. depending on what version you hear.
At least, the one I've read is like that.
