PYGMALION

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 677 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PYGMALION , in
Greek
 
mythology
 , son of Cilix, and grandson of Agenor, king of Cyprus. He
fell
  in love with an
ivory
  statue he had made; Aphrodite granted
life
  to the image, and Pygmalion married the miraculously-born virgin (
Ovid
 , Metam. x. 243). There is no ancient authority for the introduction of the name
Galatea into the story. Pygmalion is also the name given in Virgil (Aeneid, i, 347) to a king of Tyre, who murdered Sychaeus, the
husband
  of his
sister
 
Dido
 .
