What was the name and where can I find out more about the sculptor in ancient mythology who carved a female statue then fell in love with her:confused:
His name was Pygmalion. The story was the basis for a play by the same name by Shaw, and the movie My Fair Lady was based on Shaw’s play.
You can find out more by googling ‘Pygmalion’.
In the Encyclopedia Mythica, Bullfinch’s version is not quite as elaborate as the version Crusoe found.
As a side note, Pygmalion was the brother of Dido.
