Extrait du document
Greek Son of Belus, a sculptor from
Cyprus who despised women but adored the goddess
Aphrodite. He made an ivory statue of her of such
extraordinary beauty that he fell in love with it. As he
embraced the statue, Aphrodite answered his prayers
and made the statue come to life, giving it the name
Galatea (3). This story, from Ovid's Metamorphoses,
enhances the legendary power of Aphrodite over all
creation. It has been told many times, most famously
in the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
(1856–1950), the source of the musical My Fair Lady
by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.
