And yet it’s hardly representative of all male attitudes, given Pygmalion’s special status as a sculptor (at least in many retellings of the myth). Quite what that meaning and significance might be, however, is less easy to answer: we somehow feel that the story conveys something truthful about art, about inspiration, about masculine attitudes to femininity and womanhood (and, indeed, to their own desire for women), but reducing the various strands of the Pygmalion myth to a single line – as Aesop-like ‘moral’, if you will – is not at all straightforward.ĭoes the myth represent the triumph of love over hate, of male desire over male hatred of women? Does erotic desire and love trump misogyny in the case of Pygmalion, perhaps with a bit of help from Aphrodite? Perhaps love does conquer all here. The name is, however, entirely fitting for the ivory statue in the story, because it means ‘she who is milky white’ in ancient Greek (it’s related to words like lactic and galaxy and even, ultimately, latte, all of which mean ‘milk’).Īnd the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea (if we choose to call her that) is one that is laden with meaning and significance. Indeed, according to the twentieth-century classical scholar Meyer Reinhold, it was only in the eighteenth century when Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote a play about the Pygmalion myth that the name Galatea began to be associated with the sculpture. Galatea turned Acis into a stream which contained sparkling water. The process of determining those factors is called scansion it involves the division of the line into syllables-stressed and unstressed-and the demarcation of those syllables into feet. One of them is a maiden who was loved by Polyphemus, the Cyclops from the stories of Odysseus she didn’t return Polyphemus’ love and when the Cyclops saw Galatea with Acis, her lover, he threw a boulder which killed the hapless man. Scansion A line of verse is name according to the number and the kind of feet it contains. The name of Galatea is found in the earlier Greek myths, given to several different women, but none of them is the statue from the Pygmalion legend.
It is a lovely ground breaking concept.And yet in the popular imagination, Pygmalion gives the statue a name: Galatea.
