Narcissus

Though Narcissus was known for his physical beauty, he was not thought to have a great intellect. Learning and knowledge held no importance to Narcissus. He held no interest in marrying a woman who was smart, or kind and pure of heart. His only requirement was that she be an unrivaled beauty. In short - Narcissus was quite shallow .
