Pygmalion and Galatea

Pygmalion was a sculptor who didn't like the entire female gender, so he decided to remain unmarried and make a statue of the perfect woman. He made the statue so perfect that no woman could ever compare to her, and Pygmalion fell in love with her. He caressed her, gave her presents, made her jewelry, and clothed her. At the festival of Aphrodite, Pygmalion asked for a wife like his ivory virgin. When he returns home, the statue is alive. He names her Galatea and together they have a son named Paphos.


If I could bring one character to life it would be Hermione Granger. I have always been a huge fan of the Harry Potter series, and I have always had a crush on Hermione, she is perfect. She is beautiful, smart, and funny witch. Also, her best friend is the most famous wizard of all time so she could introduce us. I could replace Ron, and we would be three best friends. Ron doesn't really bring anything to the table anyway.
