1] term referring to the myth where a mysoginistic artist seeks to create a statue more beautiful than all the women in the world because he believes them to all be terribly flawed. He ends up creating the most beautiful statue ( names it Galatea) and falling in love with it because it is "perfect" because he made it. He drives himself crazy with longing for the statue, going so far as to dress it up and leave it food. Aphrodite takes pity on him because she sees he has atoned for his hatred of women and makes Galatea come alive. Pygmalion and Galatea are married and live together "happily ever after". 2) being a perfectionist, snobby or loosely, someone with ridiculously high standards in love
