(In Greek mythology, Pygmalion was a king of Cyprus who fell in love with a statue of the goddess Aphrodite. The Roman poet Ovid, in his Metamorphoses, invented a more sophisticated version: Pygmalion, a sculptor, made an ivory statue representing his ideal of womanhood and then fell in love with his own creation; the goddess Venus brought it to life in answer to his prayer) Oxford Classical Dictionary (Pygmalion, legendary king of Cyprus, who having fashioned an ivory statue of a woman fell in love with it. Aphrodite gave it life, and the woman bore Pygmalion a daughter, Paphos, the mother of Cinyras ... Philostephanus calls the statue a figure of Aphrodite...) Cenerentola, Galatea e Pigmalione, 2020 |
