Manage episode 461800653 series 3607514
Two myths. One name. Galatea is both the living statue who steps from marble into mortal arms, and the sea-nymph beloved by a monstrous Cyclops and fated to mourn a murdered lover. This episode dives into both tales—Pygmalion’s desperate quest for ideal love, and the oceanic tragedy where jealousy turns passion into grief. How does a woman become an icon, and what’s left of the ideal when it collides with messy reality? Explore the dual legacy of Galatea: a symbol of longing, transformation, and the strange, beautiful price of bringing dreams to life.
