Pygmalion and Galatea


Love what is love not fake love true love one that cannot be broken by force or departure. One of these story’s are of Pygmalion who is a sculptor who becomes obsess with sculpting the perfect statue though he was a women hater. But his love would help bring her to life. With a little help from one of the goddess though. Psychological, physical, and socially. Physically can be touch and felt by the other person. The story helps socially tell people that true love concurs all in more ways than one. Psychologically the mind is well developed and this story explains- love.


The way the story starts off is that there is a man named Pygmalion he did not like women vary much. Though he sculpted many statues of them. He would later become obsess with one of his creations to make her perfect in every way possible. So he worked day and night till he finally was done. She was so beautiful in every way. Soon a strange thing happen he found himself in love with his creation though se was not of the living he pretended a lot in a very weird way. Venus became fond o watching him pretend so she decided to bring her t life. Slowly but surly she started to come to life. Pygmalion soon named her Galatea they would later marry and have kids. And as they say in the storybooks they lived happily ever after.


There is a moral in this story that moral is that true love concurs all no matter what thanks to Venus after all. Follow your heart and you will live a happy and full life. And that is the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea.
