Echo

Echo, the dryad, was kind-hearted. This is because she would always sing and tell stories to the creatures of the woods. Because EchoÕs voice was so beautiful and the woodÕs inhabitants loved to hear her voice, she took time out of her day to sing for them or tell them tales. Knowing that because she was very jealous, Hera would be extremely mad at Zeus if she caught him with another woman,  Echo distracted Hera long enough for Zeus and the  nymph he was with to hide. When Zeus was with a wood nymph and Hera came looking for him, Echo distracted Hera long enough for Zeus to escape. In conclusion, Echo was a very benevolent character.
