In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion was a highly accomplished Cypriot sculptor. Though skilled at imitating the human form, and well acquainted with it's subtleties, he became disgusted by it when he witnessed the Propoetides prostituting themselves. These women were punished by Venus for their lack of worship with a coarseness of skin and a crudeness of nature, and were then forced into prostitution. Seeing this, Pygmalion the sculptor was repelled and could no longer appreciate women. Seemingly alone, Pygmalion sought to create for himself a perfect, pure, unsullied companion. He used his particular skills to this end: he created a statue bride.

I have thought about the Pygmalion story before, primarily the version where a goddess I dont recall which witnesses his animal sacrifice in a temple and brings the statue Galatea to life. I prefer this one, as it eschews conventional retribution morality and rewards him for being a chudcel like the rest of us. Writers since have loved to subvert the story, but I think it’s fine just the way it is.
