Question

From where does Shaw take the title Pygmalion ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The title of Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw is drawn from classical mythology. Shaw's actual source was a story found in Ovid's Metamorphoses about the sculptor Pygmalion who had forsworn love of women. He worked on a statue of a woman that was so beautiful that he fell in love with it. He named the statue Galatea.
