 Pygmalion was an avid sculptor, and he created a statue out of ivory of the perfect woman (Galatea) that he fell in love with. The sculpture was made perfectly, and could only be distinguished from the real woman by touch. Pygmalion then prayed to the goddess Aphrodite to bring the statue to life, she did, and during Pygmalion's caresses, Galatea came to life.
