What mythical Cypriot sculptor fell in love with a statue he had carved?
Endubis
Meleager
Midas
Pygmalion
Pygmalion was a Cypriot sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory. It was so beautiful and realistic that he fell in love with it. He went to Aphrodite's temple and made offerings at the altar, quietly wishing for a bride who would be "the living likeness of my ivory girl." When he returned home, he realized that Aphrodite had granted his wish.
