I should say that the fact that the logical guy was called Narcissus shows a seriously lack of understanding on that particular myth.
Well, I would say that the majority of the depictions of religious people in the media, soap operas, films etc these days are always painted as evil, villains etc. I can't think of any instance of modern film etc where the religious person is a good guy! As for Herman Hessse, I think he had a pretty good grasp of myth, he was a pretty switched on guy, you don't the Nobel Prize in lucky bags..
