Book 3:

3. Okay what I want to know is why did mating snakes bother Tiresias in the first place? And how could he see that they were mating, if he was blind? This made me believe that he hit the snakes on accident and knowing that Tiresias meant no harm , the snakes gave him the ability to transform instead of poisoning him with their venom. They should of just gave him the ability to see instead, or maybe since the Gods have the power to give Tiresias , they could of given him his vision instead. That makes more sense to me. If the snakes are magical , does this mean they are gods as well? I am just caught up with too many questions with this story.

4. The conversation between Echo and Narcissus consisted of two different intentions. Narcissus was curious to find out where the voice he heard was coming from and Echo wanted Narcissus affection. She though narcissus was searching for her and her love. I found this quite funny because every sentence he said sounded like he was yearning for her, when in fact he just needed to know whom he was speaking to. If he would say  "Is anyone here?" She would only echo back "here" as in like "I and my love are here for you". When he would say "let us meet together" so he can see her , she would just say  "together" because she obviously wanted them to be together for life. Those words were the closest seductive words she could recite back to him. Yes an echo repeats the end of your sentences, but they can only be heard back with the same emotion you expressed them with. She was twisting his meaning.
