Narcissus, according to the Greek
myth, was the son OF Cephissus, river
god, and Liriope, nymph. Echo,
nymph, fell in love with him and pined
away because Of his neglect, only her
voice remaining. In punishment, Mem
esis made Narcissus fall in love with
his own reflection In lake. Narcissus,
in turn, pined away and was changed
into the flower that bears his name.
Freudians make use Of this myth as
an illustration Of 2 certain type. OF
nervous disorder in which the patient
fixes his love on himself. even as Mar
cissus fell in love with his reflection
in the water. The malady goes by the
name of Narcism.
In modified form, Narcism is appn-
cable to normal people as well. Like
all other pathological cases 1t repre-
sents a distorted picture Of the normal.
We are all born egotistic and self

There are various shades and degrees

walking with a forked stick in his
hand and a fire pan on his head.
So Setna took the book back and
as penance he was made to bring the
body of Ahura and that of her child
from Koptos to the tomb of Memphis.
So Setna took the royal boat of his
father and its belongings and did as
the dead man had told him.
When he came to Koptos he made
known TO the priests of Isis what he
wished, and behold they came down to
him and gave him assistance. to land;
He went up with them and entered
into the temple. He ordered an OK.
goose and some wine to be sacrificed,
and he made burnt offering and a
drink offering of them before Isis
Then he went to the cemetery OF
Koptos with the priests OF Isis. They
dug about for three days and three
nights and they searched even in all
the catacombs which were in the ceme-
terry of Koptos. They turned over the
gravestones Of the scribes Of the double
house of life and read the inscriptions
they found on them. But they could
not find the resting place OF the bodies
of Ahura and her child.
Now the dead man. husband OF
Ahura, through the magic he had, saw
that they could not find the resting
place of Ahura and her child So he
raised himself up in Koptos, by magic
to appear as a venerable. very old ana
ancient man, and he came before Setna
in this guise and when Setna saw him
he said:
"You look like very old man. Do
you know where is the resting place OF
Ahura and her child?"
The ancient then said to Setna: 1T
was told by the father of the father OF
my father to the father of my father,
and the father of my father has told
1t to my father that the resting place
of Ahura and her child Is in a mound
to the south Of the town OF Pehemato." !"
And Setna said to the ancient: Per-
haps we may do damage to Pehemato
by digging there. Are you ready to
lead me to the town for that?"
The ancient then said to Setna: III
you listen to me, do you think you
would harm the town of Pehemato?
II you do not find the bodies of Ahura
and her child under the south corner
of that town, may be disgraced."
So Setna believed the ancient and
found the resting place of Ahura and
her child under the south corner OF
the town of Pehemato. Setna laid
them in the royal boat to bring them
as honored persons and restored the
town of Pehemato as it originally was.
And the dead man of the tomb. who

wonder. full of Oriental magic)
Setna was a kings son and great
scribe. and he had heard of the magic
book of Thoth. With this book a man
could enchant heaven and earth and
know the language of all birds and
beasts. 1t was buried in the cemetery
of the old city of Memphis.
So Setna went In search or the
magic book in company with his
brother and together they found the
tomb. In the tomb sat the kings son,
who possessed the magic book, and by
his side was the spirit of his wife,
whose name was Ahura. Her body
was buried elsewhere, but her spirit
was here with the body and spirit Of
her husband.
Now this dead man suffered much
for the magic book and Ahura did
not want to see the book stolen from
the tomb. There lay the book between
the dead husband and his wife's spirit
and Setna would have taken it, but
Ahura said it would bring trouble on
him If he did, and she told him the
long story of the books history.
1t seems that this magic book had
brought about the death of the man
there in the old tomb. Thoth, the
maker of the book. resented having it
taken up from its ancient hiding place
in the bed of river, and this was
his terrible punishment But Setna
would have the book, even if he had
to take it by force, so the husband
of Ahura rose and said:
IF you must take the book. play
game with me. and If you win you
may have it."
So Setna played, but a spell was
put upon him and he sank into the
ground up to his ears. He sent his
brother to his father for his talisman
and his own magic book, and when
the brother came back with them
Setna leaped up Immediately. Then
Setna reached out his hand for the
magic book Of Thoth and took it, and
as he left the tomb there went light
before him and darkness behind him.
Ahura said: "All power is gone from
the tomb" But her husband said:
do not let your heart be sad. I will
make him bring back the book. with
a forked stick in his hand and a fire
pan on his head"
And as Setna went from the tomb
1t closed behind him as 1t was before
He went home to his father. the king,
and told him all that had happened.
His father begged him to take the
book back, lest the enraged dead man
make him do as he said. But Setna
would not listen to him. and when he
had unrolled the book he did nothing
but read it to everybody.
Then Setna met a woman whose
beauty was wonderful to behold and
he fell In love with her. But she made
him pay a terrible price-she made
him let all the children be slain before
his very eyes, and Setna was SO mad
with love of her that he agreed to
it. and it was DONE Then strange
things happened and he found him.

on his back, and he knew that the
