OVID's METAMORPHOSES ~ PYGMALION Latin Text Sunt Tamen

The Beautiful Galatea [Opéra Comique, in Two Acts; Text by Zell and Genée
The Beautiful Galatea [Opéra comique, in two acts; text by Zell and Genée. First produced in Vienna, 1865.] PERSONAGES. Galatea, the statue. Ganymede, Greek boy. Pygmalion, sculptor. Midas, art patron. [Chorus of Grecians.] The scene is laid in Greece; time, mythological. The opera of "Die Schöne Galatea" ("The Beautiful Galatea"), though of slight construction, is one of Suppé's most melodious works, while the story is a clever setting of the familiar mythological romance in a somewhat modern frame, in which respect it resembles the stories of Helen of Troy and Orpheus and Eurydice, which Offenbach so cleverly travestied. The first act opens with a graceful chorus of Grecians on their way to worship at the temple of Venus, at dawn ("Aurora is awaking in Heaven above"). Ganymede, Pygmalion's servant, declines to go with them, preferring to sleep, and bids them good-by with a lullaby ("With Violets, with Roses, let the Temple be decked"). His master, Pygmalion, who has finished a statue of Galatea, his ideal, also goes to the temple, and Ganymede decides to take a nap. His slumbers are interrupted, however, by Midas, a professional art patron, who has heard of the statue and informs Ganymede that he is ready to buy it, but first wishes to see it. The servant declares it is impossible, as his master is in love with it. Midas makes a further appeal to him in a long descriptive arietta ("My Dear Father Gordias") in which he boasts of his abilities, his patronage, and his conquests. He finally bribes Ganymede to show it to him, and as he stands gazing at it and praising its loveliness, Pygmalion, who has suddenly returned, enters and upbraids them. -

In this chapter, we will look at both stories with a view to better understanding the paradoxes of critical practice, each tale providing us with a different point of entry to the complexities of artistic practice and philosophical thought. The story of Prometheus has its fullest elaboration in Hesiod’s Theogony and we will attend to this tale in the second half of the chapter.2 The myth of Pygmalion also has several versions including many neoclassical and more contemporary re-tellings.3 The stories represent two different paradigms for creation, although they contain overlapping elements. The case of Prometheus is a model for creation that emphases theft and punishment, while the story of Pygmalion offers us an account of creation based upon illusion and misidentification. The former is a tale of inscription and disruption, the latter myth concerns representation and misreading. -
How Ovid's “Pygmalion”
The Complex Relationship of Ars and Natura: How Ovid’s “Pygmalion” Employs the Power of the Artist Kelsey Littlefield ‘17 ublius Ovidius Naso, commonly known as Ovid, was a Roman poet and author who lived during the reign of P Augustus Caesar. He is renowned as poet of great variety and skill, and no work so wonderfully displays his talent as his Metamorphoses, a massive volume of mythological stories of transformation. Throughout the Metamorphoses, art and nature serve as unifying themes and are present in some capacity in each myth Ovid recounts. In particular, art and nature are prevalent in the myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with his ivory creation. An important contrast develops between art and nature in this story, and that contrast speaks to how the senses are woven into both. Roman literature is fond of treating the subjects of art and nature, and their contrasting figures appear again and again in the best works of the Ancient World. These two didactic terms are often used in elegiac poetry as a means of deciphering the interwoven relationships among the poet, lover, and girl (poeta, amator, and puella).1 The poet and the lover are one in the same, as the poet attempts to express the love and the experience of the beloved (i.e., the puella) to his reader. There is also, however, a sense of lament, as in all elegiac poetry, as the beloved has an unattainable quality that eventually leaves the poet/lover in despair. The girl, more specifically Pygmalion’s own beloved,2 exemplifies the erotic nature displayed in Ovid’s version of elegiac poetry and the grappling of the role that the artist plays in shaping his own art. -

Spesso diciamo che il matrimonio è l’inizio di un cammino, salvo poi lasciare le coppie “abbandonate” fino al momento in cui si ripresenteranno alla comunità per richiedere il Battesimo per i figli. I primi anni della vita di una coppia sono però importanti e dovrebbero essere oggetto di una attenzione particolare. Sono spesso gli anni che determinano uno “stile di vita“ di coppia e familiare. Desideriamo quindi pensare alle giovani coppie di sposi la cui cura ci viene sollecitata dall’invito premuroso che Amoris Laetitia esplicita nei numeri dal 217 al 230. In essi troviamo lo spunto a pensare a come far emergere e consolidare il dono che le coppie ricevono nel giorno della celebrazione del matrimonio. Con la grazia del sacramento la vita è cambiata nello spirito, ma la coppia deve poter maturare nell’accoglienza di questo dono. -

The Myth of Pygmalion and Galatea
The Myth of Pygmalion and Galatea The myth of Pygmalion and Galatea is probably one of the most known stories in Greek Mythology. The myth of Pygmalion and Galatea is also one of the most influential and inspiring ancient Greek myths, and became the main theme for theatrical plays, movies and artistic paintings. Pygmalion the Sculptor Pygmalion was a talented Greek sculptor from Cyprus. After becoming disgusted by some local prostitutes, he lost all interest in women and avoided their company completely. Pygmalion saw women as flawed creatures and vowed never to waste any moment of his life with them. He dedicated himself to his work and soon created Galatea, a beautiful stature of a woman out of ivory. Ironically, the masterpiece of his life was this statue of a woman. Perhaps he sought to correct in marble the flaws he saw in women of flesh and blood. Pygmalion’s Statue Whatever the case, Pygmalion worked so long and with such inspiration on the statue of Galatea, that it became more beautiful than any woman that had ever lived or been carved in stone. As he finished the statue’s features, they became exquisitely lovely, and he found himself applying the strokes of hammer and chisel with increasing affection. When his chisel finally stopped ringing, there stood before him a woman of such perfection that Pygmalion, who had professed his disdain of all females, fell deeply in love. He would bring it gifts, caress it, kiss it and talk to it every day. He brought it gifts he thought women would enjoy, such as pretty seashells, beads, songbirds, baubles and flowers. -

From Puppet to Cyborg: Posthuman and Postmodern Retellings of the Pinocchio Myth
FROM PUPPET TO CYBORG: POSTHUMAN AND POSTMODERN RETELLINGS OF THE PINOCCHIO MYTH By Georgia Panteli Thesis submitted to University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy CENTRE FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY & INTERCULTURAL INQUIRY (CMII), SCHOOL OF EUROPEAN LANGUAGES, CULTURE & SOCIETY (SELCS) UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1 Declaration of Authorship I, [Georgia Panteli] confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The myth of Pinocchio is the story of a puppet that desires to become human and achieves it with the power of his will. Created by Carlo Collodi in The Adventures of Pinocchio, the myth of Pinocchio is linked to the fairy tale tradition and is the most recent manifestation of the animate/inanimate archetype. This thesis is the first systematic study of the Pinocchio myth and examines how it has been used and reinterpreted in different retellings across different media and disciplines. The first part of this study focuses on Pinocchio retellings in film and shows that the most contemporary example of the Pinocchio myth is in the story of the sentient cyborg/robot that desires humanity. Moving from the classic in the field of cyborg studies Blade Runner through Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which directly links the robot to Pinocchio, to the least technophobic and most transhumanist Battlestar Galactica, Chapter 1 demonstrates how all case studies are connected to Collodi’s novel through the confrontation scene, a specific passage in the text which touches upon the core of the Pinocchio myth, as Pinocchio is confronted both by the Blue Fairy and his corporeality.
