In book 10 of Ovid 's Metamorphoses, Pygmalion was a Cypriot sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory. Post-classical sources name her Galatea . According to Ovid, when Pygmalion saw the Propoetides of Cyprus practicing prostitution, he began "detesting the faults beyond measure which nature has given to women". [1]
Who Was Galatea? Pygmalion named his masterpiece ivory statue Galatea (Greek: Γαλάτεια; “she who is milk-white”). Galatea is the embodiment of the perfection of the woman of Pygmalion’s dream. Thus far from the immoral Cypriot women who earned his ire.
