The story of Pygmalion and Galatea is a well-known one in Greek mythology. It tells of how the young and handsome sculptor, Pygmalion, fell in love with his creation. Pygmalion actually hated the opposite sex, but with his talents he created a sculpture of a woman so perfect and life-like, it became the sole object of his attention and love. While some stories of Pygmalion and Galatea differ, what remains consistent is that Aphrodite granted his desire for his ivory love to come to life, apparently due to the statue resemblance of the Goddess herself.

Pygmalion and Galatea lived happily together, some stories saying they had a son, others saying they had a daughter, who later founded the city of Paphos in Cyprus.
