Pygmalion

This is a cute myth, and (for once!) it ends well.

Pygmalion hated women (and we hate you too, you chauvinist pig).

Yet he was a sculptor, and one day he made a statue of a maiden so beautiful he fell in love with her. Yet, she was a statue, and so it was not exactly a share love.

One day, however, there was a festival. Pygmalion asked from Venus that he make his sculptor real, and she did so. When he got home, the statue was real (isn't that kind of incest? He made her, so technically he's her father. Oh well, at least he doesn't have to deal with in-laws).

They had a son, Paphos, after whom the city, sacred to Venus, was named.
