		Pygmalion named her Galatea, married her, and had a son named Paphos.
		In the prologue, Shaw explains that "Galatea never does quite like Pygmalion: His relation to her is too god-like to be altogether agreeable." In ancient myth, it was not so bad to have a relationship with a god, but this is not the kind of thing Eliza wants.
		Like Pygmalion and King Cophetua, if he were to choose Eliza as his consort, he would be in a position of great power in the relationship.

		To make matters worse, all greek mythology came to us written in ancient greek (of course!) so translating to English or any other language was not an easy task.
		No matter what the variations are of each story the bottom line is that the ancient Greeks had a brilliant imagination and created one of the richest and most complete set of characters: gods, demigods and heroes and passed them on to us to appreciate their brilliance millennia later.
