=== ''変身物語'' ===
詩人オヴィディウスは『変身』(西暦8年)の中で、ユーノー(ギリシア神話ではヘーラー)が夫ユーピテル(ギリシア神話ではゼウス)の浮気に嫉妬する様子を描いている。
In ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' (8 AD), the poet [[Ovid]] tells of [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]] (Hera in Greek mythology) and the jealousy she felt over her husband [[Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]'s (Zeus in Greek mythology) many affairs. Though vigilant, whenever she was about to catch him, Echo distracted her with lengthy conversations. When at last Juno realized the truth, she cursed Echo. From that moment on, the once loquacious nymph could only repeat the most recently spoken words of another person.<ref>[[Ovid]], Translated by David Raeburn (2004). ''[[Metamorphoses]]''.
