Note
One plural covers every meaning of echo: sound thrown back by a cliff, a line of verse that answers the one before it, and the figurative ripples one event sends into later ones. Most writers spell it echoes, with the same -oes ending as heroes. Echos is a less common variant, so echoes is the safer choice in formal or edited writing.
