True love conquers all obstacles. (My interpretation)
Venus was enraged with the women of Cyprus because they denied her divinity. Venus turned them into prostitutes, and because they had no shame, they could be turned into stone. Pygmalion was disgusted with the women of Cyprus. He carved himself a statue out of ivory and fell in love with it. At a feast for Venus(strange,because the people were opposed to Venus' divinity,this is likely a mix of two stories from an oral tradition), Pygmalion prays to Venus. When he returns home,his statue has been turned into a woman(Galatea). 9 monts later,she gives birth a son,Paphos.

She turns Galatea into a real woman.
Galatea. She was the statue whom Aphrodite breathed life in as a reward to her sculptor Pygmalion.
This is a story from ancient Greece. It tells of how Pygmalion fell in love with a statue that he created when he decided that women were inferior.
She lived a long and happy life with Pygmalion, her creator.
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.
