Venus was enraged with the women of Cyprus because they denied her divinity. Venus turned them into prostitutes, and because they had no shame, they could be turned into stone. Pygmalion was disgusted with the women of Cyprus. He carved himself a statue out of ivory and fell in love with it. At a feast for Venus(strange,because the people were opposed to Venus' divinity,this is likely a mix of two stories from an oral tradition), Pygmalion prays to Venus. When he returns home,his statue has been turned into a woman(Galatea). 9 monts later,she gives birth a son,Paphos.
