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.
