===''The Lay of Narcissusナルキッソスの詩''===
''The Lay of Narcissus'', one of many titles by which the work is known, is Norman-French verse narrative written towards the end of the 12th century. In the four manuscripts that remain, an unknown author borrows from the Echo and Narcissus of Ovid to create a story better suited to the needs of his time.<ref name="Dwyer">Dwyer, Richard (1978), ''Review: Narcisse: Conte ovidien français du XIIe siècle by Martine Thiry-Stassin, Madeline Tyssens.''
