The story of Pygmalion is... so much. Plus, the time a man "fell in love" with a statue. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
Sources: Ovid's Metamorphoses, translated by Stephanie McCarter; Clement of Alexandria, translated by GW Butterworth; The Erotes, attributed to Lucian of Samosata and translated by AM Harmon; for more on the statue.
