This week, we recount the tales of Pygmalion, and then, of Phaeton. These stories were initially told and propagated orally, with evidence of Minoan and Mycenean bards singing songs of Gods and heroes way back in the 18th century BC. Pictorial depictions of these tales were popular too, featuring prominently in vase paintings and decorations.
The first story we recount today is that of Pygmalion, which is a tale of a prominent King and sculptor of Cyprus. It is recorded in book 10 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses – and the story you’re about to hear now has been taken from the book titled “A Book of Myths”, authored by Jean Lang.
