In Ovid's Metamorphoses (a long poem with many stories of magical transformation) Pygmalion is a Cypriot sculptor who carves a statue so beautiful that he falls in love with it. In despair he prays to the goddess of love (Venus). She brings the statue to life, and Pygmalion and his statue (who is called Galathea in later versions of the story, though Ovid does not give her name) have a son called Paphos.
It is just as well that no-one reads this story from its source anymore (Book X of Ovid's Metamorphoses). It is R-rated in the original version.
Venus has an atmospheric pressure about 91 times greater than Earth's due to its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and the high surface pressure caused by the greenhouse effect. This extreme pressure makes Venus's surface conditions inhospitable for life as we know it.

Venus is often referred to as Earth's twin because of its similar size, composition, and proximity to the sun. However, Venus has a much hotter and more hostile environment, with a dense atmosphere that traps heat and leads to surface temperatures high enough to melt lead.

The Full Cupboard of Life was created in 2003.

In Ovid's narrative, Pygmalion was a sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory. According to Ovid, after seeing the Propoetides prostituting themselves, he was not interested in women, but his statue was so realistic that he fell in love with it. He offered the statue gifts and eventually prayed to Venus. She took pity on him and brought the statue to life. They married and had a son, Paphos.
The sculptor was named Pygmalion.
Pygmalion is a sculptor in Greek mythology. He is known for falling in love with a statue he created named Galatea, which was later brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite.
Pygmalion fell in love with a statue he created (which was later named Galatea). Aphrodite (Venus) answered his prayers that the statue become a real woman. This has been captured perhaps most famously by Jean-Léon Gérôme's oil painting 'Pygmalion and Galatea'.

Who brought you to life? Well, this is a simple question as long as an answer. God created you. But your mother gave life to you. She brought you out of her stomach. Meaning, God and your parents brought you to life.
