OVID's METAMORPHOSES ~ PYGMALION Latin Text Sunt Tamen
Robert Cerise OVID’S METAMORPHOSES ~ PYGMALION Latin Text Sunt tamen obscenae Venerem Propoetides ausae esse negare deam. Pro quo sua numinis ir 240 corpora cum forma primae vulgasse feruntur: utque pudor cessit sanguisque induruit oris, in rigidium parvo silicem discrimine versae. Quas quia Pygmalion aevum per crimen agentis viderat, offensus vitiis, quae plurima menti 245 femineae natura dedit, sine coniuge caelebs vivebat thalamique diu consorte carebat. Interea niveum mira feliciter arte sculpsit ebur formamque dedit, qua femina nasci nulla potest: operisque sui concepit amorem. 250 Virginis est verae facies, quam vivere credas, et, si non obstet reverentia, velle moveri: ars adeo latet arte sua. Miratur et haurit pectore Pygmalion simulati corporis ignes. Saepe manus operi temptantes admovet, an sit 255 corpus an illud ebur: nec adhuc ebur esse fatetur. Oscula dat reddique putat loquiturque tenetque, et credit tactis digitos insidere membris, et metuit, pressos veniat ne livor in artus.

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. -

Pygmalion My Fair Lady
a comparison of the first scene of: PYGMALION with the first scene of: MY FAIR LADY I-1-1 PYGMALION by George Bernard Shaw ACT ONE Scene One Covent Garden at 11.15 p.m. Torrents of heavy summer rain. Cab whistles blowing frantically in all directions. Pedestrians running for shelter into the market and under the portico of St. Paul's Church, where there are already several people, among them a lady and her daughter in evening dress. They are all peering out gloomily at the rain, except one man with his back turned to the rest, who seems wholly preoccupied with a notebook in which he is writing busily. The church clock strikes the first quarter. THE DAUGHTER (in the space between the central pillars, close to the one on her left) I'm getting chilled to the bone. What can Freddy be doing all this time? He's been gone twenty minutes. THE MOTHER (on her daughter's right) Not so long. But he ought to have got us a cab by this. A BYSTANDER (on the lady's right) He won't get no cab not until half-past eleven, missus, when they come back after dropping their theatre fares. THE MOTHER But we must have a cab. We can't stand here until half-past eleven. It's too bad. I-1-2 THE BYSTANDER Well, it ain't my fault, missus. THE DAUGHTER If Freddy had a bit of gumption, he would have got one at the theatre door. THE MOTHER What could he have done, poor boy? THE DAUGHTER Other people got cabs. -

My Fair Lady is a musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, itself an adaptation of an ancient Greek myth. My Fair Lady is the story of Eliza Doolittle, a penniless flower girl living in London in 1912. Eliza becomes the unwitting object of a bet between two upper-class men, phonetics professor Henry Higgins and linguist Colonel Pickering. Higgins bets that he can pass Eliza off as a lady at an upcoming high-society social event, but their relationship quickly becomes more complicated. In My Fair Lady, Lerner and Loewe explore topics of class discrimination, sexism, linguistic profiling, and social identity; issues that are still very much present in our world today. -
The Central Theme of Education in Shaw's Pygmalion
www.the-criterion.com The Criterion [email protected] An International Journal in English ISSN 0976-8165 The Central Theme of Education in Shaw’s Pygmalion Dr. D. Prasad Assistant Professor of English, Jeppiaar Engineering College, Chennai – 600 119 Tamilnadu, India The Central Theme of Education The contribution on Bernard Shaw to the modern English drama is significant. He discusses a serious problem of the contemporary society as intensely as he can. Therefore the readers call his plays ‘Comedies of Purpose’ In writing plays, Shaw had the deliberate object of converting the society to his views and ideas. He had no other incentive to write plays. G.K. Chesterton says: Bernard Shaw has much affinity to Plato in his instinctive elevation of temper, his courageous pursuit of ideas as far as they will go; his civic idealism, and also, it must be confessed, in his dislike of poets and a touch of delicate inhumanity (GeorgeBernard Shaw: 53) Education is enlightenment. Like a rainbow, it unfurls many hues, right from child development up to higher education. It also hovers into remedial programmes for backward students. It is an artistic science and a scientific art. It is not reading books but understanding. It is the art of imparting knowledge, not thrusting knowledge, into the unwilling throat. In Pygmalion, education is used as a tool for emancipating working class individuals. Eliza gets uprooted and has to give up personal feature. Language is linked up with identity and finds a new identity through education. Eliza’s transformation demonstrates that social distinctions such as accents, age, class barriers can be overcome by language training.
