Story of Pygmalion
Dear Reader,
besorgt!
As promised I will give you the story of pygmalion from my take!
and an unrelated poem as well ;).. Reader a quick note, there is a play of Bernard Shaw with the same name but its story has got nothing to do with the following story FYI.
Pygmalion was a great man, he was an artist
an artist of his time...
he gave life to stone and the gods of his time
Pygmalion was one of the few lucky mortal man
who gained immortality through his deeds among the gods.
Gods loved him because of the way he gave body to them among the mortal men
this way gods can be among the mortals and control the life among the mortal men
and let's not to forget, this way mortals seeing immortals in material form immortals can also live among the living mind's to stay immortal
Pygmalion was the mortal men but he was all the god's favorite mortal
he was a humble man who didn't have friends... Pygmalion was an outcast
because of his gift of creation he was different from the rest
which made him alone and an outcast...
he was humbled and tamed by the loneliness
Pygmalion was living on an island called Cyprus which is in the middle of Mediterranean
beside the physical island he lived in he also lived in the island of his mind...
he was living on the land of the Salamis
these lands were rich in valuable metals copper and gold...
Copper is the metal giving this island its name...
at those time this metal was known among the man as kypros among the Helen world and cuprous in the Latin world
Although all these civilization owed greatly what they know on all things to Sumerian whom known copper as "zubar"
all the copper harvested from the earth in Cyprus was traded in the old world...
it was used to make all kind of things plates, cups, statues, weapons...
so Cypriots got the mula,
these people lived a good life and they showed their gratitude for this abundance by building temples to their beloved gods as well as offering gifts to them all the time...
Cypriots developed refined tastes in life because of their good economy...
they gave great importance to aesthetics and beauty...
this great interest of the Cypriots was drawn to the highest limit in the city of Salamis
very easy to understand considering the city was home of the Nymph Salamis who is the daughter of river gods Asopus and Ladon...All of Salamis's sisters were beauties consider Daphnaie (Daphne) for instance...
Ladon, fathered many daughters...All of them were beauties...
Therefore, in Cyprus aesthetics, beauty and love was valued a lot...
One of their most beloved deities was Aphrodite,
during these ages our beloved Inanna goes under the alias of "Aphrodite"
Cypriot's cherished her with temples and many gifts...
Pygmalion grew a very fond relationship with Aphrodite
after all he was the mortal giving life to her majesty on pale white marble
at each reincarnation in the stone
Aphrodite came to life like
the shine of the dawning sun on the setting full moon...
pale white, smooth reflection of incomprehensible
majestic beauty...
all the people who have seen the statues of Pygmalion
shed tears on Love and comprehend why they are offering gifts to their beloved Aphrodite
Pygmalion respected and cherished all the gods, but his heart was always praying to Aphrodite
his one greatest wish was to end his loneliness
to meet a human that can give him wings and a human which he can give wings to
Pygmalion had his fair share of heartbreaks in his time
for instance once he met a beautiful girl named Propoetides but later on
when he realised she is sharing her love with other people in exchange for gold coins and gifts of material nature....
his heart was completely shattered to pieces...
the sadness of Pygmalion started to manifest itself in a sculpture of perfect companion
he started to work on a large piece of left over ivory from sculpting gods...
alongside his regular job making sculptures of great gods
the sculpture of the companion was more humane like
as he smoothed line after line, surface after surface
the smooth beautiful legs straight and inviting like Corinthian pillars
marvelous erect breasts with highlighted tits like mounds covered with wild flowers on soft grass
an ass giving way to a womanly gorge inviting as the gates of heavens
day and night Pygmalion gave his heart and dirty mind in the creation of his perfect companion
as he chipped pieces from the ivory his heart felt mellow and as the days passed
Pygmalion started to grew wings to his creation
the wings were not only in his back but also in his part of groin as well
Pygmalion was falling for his own creation
but there was a huge problem...
even though his creation look like alive, it was not!
Pygmalion was cursed to have a one sided love with his creation
in his atelier as he finished the statue of another magnificent Aphrodite
he prayed to her, after all it was his favorite deity
he wished that he could have a bride as beautiful as the statue he made
Aphrodite had a very soft spot for Pygmalion in her heart...
her heart broke to see her disciple in such a broken heart..
Pygmalion was hugging the statue he made and kissing her lips
and trying to make love with her...he was sleeping at the foot of his creation all night
at the 4th day of Hekatombaion (July) Pygmalion climbed up the temple stairs of Aphrodite
and put all the gold coins he earned from sculpting beneath the foot of majestic statue of Aphrodite he sculpted earlier
he whispered to Aphrodite
oh mighty Aphrodite...
"give her life,
give her my love
teach her how to love me
teach her your ways
show her the love
show her the light
bless me with her love
make her my bride"
Pygmalion with all the blues and impossibility of his wish drops the coins
and leaves the temple his head down
crying in and out...
he walks back to his atelier with a jug of wine in his hand drunk....
slowly he enters in and starts kissing his statue
all of a sudden lips of the statue feels so gentle, soft and wet to his lips
he continues kissing as he was in a grandiose dream that can be only seen
by the will of Morpheus..
as he was lost in love and lust
he makes love with his beautiful statue
and passes out...
next morning he wakes up being hugged by this beautiful women of his dreams
kissing him good morning...
the statue came to life! his creation, his bride...
Pygmalion with a great joy and happiness kiss back his love
and rush back to temple of Aphrodite hand in hand with his love bare naked
he wants to show his gratitude and thanks
they prayed and kissed the toe of the Aphrodite statue
the great god of Love so happy to see her humble disciple is content and grateful
drops a large sack of gold coins multitude of what Pygmalion dropped to her feet as an offering
Pygmalion named her bride Galatea
they married and loved one another dearly to the end of their time
not to forget out of their love borned a beautiful girl called Paphos
later on the story of Pygmalion and Galatea was carried in ages
they are named after cities in different parts of the world
for instance Galatea was named after a beautiful part of Constantinople
which is on a hill and have a great view of the Golden Horn and Bosphorus
later Ottomans when they conquered this magical city they added tower of Galatea
which corresponds to the winged part of Pygmalion's groins
rise from the hills of Galatea
its main purpose is to watch and protect the city from the fires..
fires caused by intense Love!

my conversations of self realizations
a treat of pineal explorations of solitude's rations
my manifestations of materializations
a great deal of delusions of grandiose ordeal illusions

Reader every creator has their own Galatea!
