Narcissus is self-‐assured, youthful, beautiful and self-satisfied, but, unlike Hades, he is not powerful, in a sense then, this is his one moment of REALLY living.
He is surrounded by Hades, Water and Ferrymen.
In Greek mythology Hades is both the person / god and the place – the underworld.
Like tidal river, an underworld, the characters are together, ebbing, flowing.
