Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological figure. It was first presented on stage to the public in 1913.

In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with one of his sculptures, which then came to life. The general idea of that myth was a popular subject for Victorian era English playwrights, including one of Shaw's influences, W. S. Gilbert. Shaw would also have been familiar with the burlesque version, Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed. 
Shaw's play has been adapted numerous times, most notably as the musical 'My Fair Lady' and its film version.Public Domain

"ɪ ꜱʜɪɴᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ɢɪᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ." The stories of the past always fascinated you. Particularly, stories about how ancient people saw the world, how they interpreted what was happening and why. This is what led you to Greek mythology. Now, you never believed in Greek mythology, or any religions to be honest. But honoring it brought comfort to you. Or maybe it was just doing weird rituals, to be honest. You were still doing weird rituals before you got into mythology. But either way, this is what led you to the incident. One moment, you are worshiping your wizard Furby that you jokingly call "The Oracle", and the next you find yourself in Mount. Olympus, home of the gods.

Greek Myths by Snatcher2001

This is a collection of Greek Myths I thought some people would like to read for pure interest or to help them with their homework. I own nothing, all credits go to the Greeks and their interesting mythology.

HYACINTHUS by poeticramblings

Hyacinthus, a Spartan prince whose beauty was blessed by the gods. Apollo, the god of the Sun, whose eye had been caught by him. And Zephyros, the god of the West Wind, who suffers in silence, his broken heart aching for revenge. #6 in ancient-greece - 26/6/2023

A Wayward Arrow by AmbrosePeters

A story of love, lust, and the soul. In all his years, he had done the bidding of the gods. Made matches of lust and love for whichever maiden or man or god or whichever tide of fate that one so wanted. Never had he ever shot an arrow for himself, nor had he taken anyone as his own beyond that of his bed chambers. It was always for someone else. Not that he minded. What would the God of lust do with someone once he had his fill of them? In his palace, enchanted with maids and servants, the son of Aphrodite and Ares, Eros wanted for nothing because no God, not even the mighty Zeus, dared cross him. Even the god that others feared still did not like to upset his mother or disobey her. That was till he saw Psyche and accidentally felt the full effect of his own arrow. New chapters every Tuesday and Fridays!

Othello by WilliamShakespeare

Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

Epic: The musical tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey by Jack_N_Demon

First things first! I do NOT own the rights to Epic the musical. All rights go to Jorge Rivera-Herrans and the cast who sang in it. Please go check them out especially if you have never listened to the musical. This is a FAN retelling of the musical with more details to make it like a novel. Now then, with that out of the way.... In Greek Mythology, there are Tales, Legends, and Myths of Heroes and Tragedies alike. There's one certain tale that I'd like to unveil, one regarding a king and his plight. One of the perilous journeys of Gods, Monsters, and lessons in Ruthlessness and No Mercy. So sit back and enjoy as I tell you the tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey. Check out Epic the musical on YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, or wherever you listen to music.

Opposites attract by Clarisseirlgf

Maeve always had a certain charm about her. She could smile at someone and they were weak in the knees, look at someone with her innocent eyes and get whatever she wanted. Maeve knew that she was attractive and that's why it confuses her that one person doesn't fall at her feet, begging for her attention. Instead, it almost becomes the other way around
