L'art se cache à force d'art : Pygmalion a créé un objet qui nie sa propre nature d'objet, atteignant un sommet où la frontière entre la matière inerte et la vie commence à s'effacer.

Pygmalion et Galatée, récit de la mythologie grecque, présenté en langue française par un narrateur français
Domande frequenti
Pygmalion est un artiste sculpteur vivant sur l'île de Chypre. Marqué par une profonde aversion pour les femmes de son époque qu'il juge scandaleuses, il choisit de vivre dans un célibat absolu. Pour combler sa solitude, il consacre son talent à la création d'une statue d'ivoire d'une beauté exceptionnelle. Son obsession pour la perfection artistique est telle qu'il finit par tomber éperdument amoureux de sa propre création, un récit fondateur rapporté par Ovide.
La décision de Pygmalion de se retirer du monde et de rejeter la compagnie des femmes provient de son dégoût face à la conduite des Propétides. Selon les Métamorphoses d'Ovide, ces femmes avaient nié la divinité d'Aphrodite, la déesse de l'amour. En punition, elles furent condamnées à perdre toute pudeur et à devenir les premières prostituées avant d'être transformées en roche. Ce spectacle de débauche a poussé l'artiste vers une rupture radicale et définitive avec la société.
Le mythe de Pygmalion est l'un des récits emblématiques des Métamorphoses d'Ovide. Jackson explique que ce texte classique détaille les raisons du retrait de l'artiste et sa confrontation avec la réalité des Propétides. L'œuvre d'Ovide explore les thèmes de la transformation et de la création, montrant comment l'obsession de la perfection peut mener un homme à préférer une statue d'ivoire à la réalité humaine, préfigurant ainsi nos questionnements modernes sur l'intelligence artificielle.
