Ans. Echo was a nymph. She was very talkative by nature. She used to talk to any passer-by on any subject at any time. She detained goddess Hera on several occasions and engaged her in casual talks for hours.

It was goddess Hera who had cursed Echo. It was all due to her talkative nature. Once goddess Hera was about to discover Zeus with his illicit lovers. In the meantime Echo met her and detained her in idle and useless talks. It had made her annoyed and she cursed her. Hera cursed Echo that she would not be able to speak a single word to anybody. She could repeat only a few last words she heard from others.
