Pygmalion is said to be a sculptor but never show interest to women for he is a man of perfection, so he carved a woman that is perfect for his eyes.
Since he was a sculptor it was quite natural that he made a statue.
A statue made of ivory, and was the most beautiful "woman" in the world, according to Pygmalion.
Pygmalion carved the statue out of his frustration with women, having become disenchanted by their imperfections. He sought to create an idealized figure that embodied beauty and purity, reflecting his own ideals of love and companionship. Ultimately, his craftsmanship led him to fall deeply in love with the statue, which was later brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite, fulfilling his desire for a perfect partner.

The main conflict in the story of Pygmalion and Galatea is Pygmalion's love for an ivory statue he has carved, Galatea, and his desire for her to come to life. The conflict arises from the tension between Pygmalion's deep emotional connection to the statue and his yearning for her to be a living being. Ultimately, the resolution occurs when the goddess Aphrodite grants Pygmalion's wish and brings Galatea to life.
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.
Galatea is a statue in the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw. Pygmalion sculpted Galatea and fell in love with her.
