Greek mythology
For a long time, Pygmalion, King of Cyprus, was searching, without finding her, a woman whose beauty corresponded to his ideal of woman. In the end, he decided to build a statue that reflected those ideals of beauty.
Pygmalion eventually fell in love with the statue, which he called Galatea. Thanks to Aphrodite, one night he dreamed that Galatea had came to life. And when he woke up, Pygmalion met Aphrodite, who was very touched and said: "You deserve that happiness, the one you have made. Here you have the queen you have been looking for. Love her and defend her".
The discovery of (96189) Pygmalion clashed with the release of the movie "The Beauty and the Beast" (Disney, 1991).
(96189) Pygmalion is related with the touching moments of dramatic tension, typical of 'Venus in square', in which the solution for love demands to take the most difficult path.
