Summary/Abstract: This research paper, or rather this unique expanded essay, delves into our evaluation and argument regarding the previously explored interpretation of the origin of the mythonym Narcissus and its role within the framework of ancient Greek and broader Balkan beliefs. We identify a reshaping of fundamental Neoplatonic elements, almost in reverse, within this system, particularly concerning the Neoplatonic hierarchy.
