Pygmalion is a story we know from Ovid. Since it is Roman, there is a moral lesson in the text, in this case that devotion to the gods leads to rewards, while not offering them your devotion led to punishment. In the story, the reason Pygmalion was so enamored with the statue because the other women of his village, the Propoetides, had denied the divinity of Venus and thus were made to prostitute themselves by the vengeful goddess. He made offerings to the goddess often and asked that his statue be given life. She granted his request, offering a contrast to the punishment of the women.
