  3. The myth of narcissus it seems to me the more interesting, the author is explaining what is philosophy, found reflected, discovered thinking subjects about the existence, life, truth, or perhaps the happiness.
    Osiris myth: Scholars have tried to get the natural events that gave rise the story but they have no reached it... the Osiris myth persisted after knowledge of most ancient Egyptian beliefs was lost, and it is still well known.

      Have you met/known somebody with the Narcissus behavior? I mean somebody who thinks that he/she is the best! Because that is sort of common nowadays, especially between famous people!

  4. The myth of Narcissus is very fantastic, and more interesting for me because it concerns the dangers of self-love, which is calculated as warning.The stories of Narcissus and Echo represent the tragedy of lost connections, because both love erroneously. . Narcissus loves simply a reflection; Echo loves someone who cannot love another. Osiris myth: Most of its elements originated in religious ideas, but the conflict between Horus and Seth may have been partially inspired by a regional struggle in the early history or prehistory of Egypt. You attempted to discern the exact nature of the events that have given rise to the story, but no definitive conclusions have been achieved.
