 Echo's Reply
Echo went on to fall in love with a beautiful boy who didn't love anyone, who rejected women till they put a curse on him.

And - because, of course, we are talking about the Greek gods - the wife took revenge with a curse, and Echo, as the girl was called, found she could speak only the last words anyone spoke to her.
