Galatea 1990,
painted and patinated [sic] bronze, by Roy Lictenstien.
According to Wikipedia; Galatea (Greek: Γαλάτεια;
"she who is milk-white")[1] is a name popularly applied
to the statue carved of ivory by Pygmalion of Cyprus,
which then came to life, in Greek mythology; in modern
English the name usually alludes to that story. Galatea
is also the name of Polyphemus's object of desire in
Theocritus's Idylls VI and XI and is linked with
Polyphemus again in the myth of Acis and
Galatea in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
