GALATEA Is a scrapture by Dave Channon. In Ovid’s Metamorphosis, PYGMALION was a sculptor who created a statue of a woman so perfect that he fell in love with it, called it Galatea and dressed it in sensuous clothes. (Today it might be called Barbie.) But Galatea was hard and cold as stone. Obsessed and tormented with passion, he appealed to Venus to change Galatea into a real woman. Venus had sympathy and did. Pygmalion named Galatea after an ancient Greek forest nymph Naiad who presided over brooks, springs, fountains, swamps and bogs. Think freshwater Mermaid with legs and super powers. Cyclops loved her but she loved another. Cyclops crushed her other lover with a boulder.
If you love Galatea let me know! If you must have her, you can for $10,000 including delivery & installation. No Cyclops boulders. Dave@EsopusCreek.com (845) 688-2977
