Answer 1

Ovid's Metamorphose's Pygmalion has influenced later works, including Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Wife of Bath."

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

For instance, in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, love, as an element of human existential reality, confronts societal prejudices and rivalries.  This element of defying love, portrayed also in Ovid's Metamorphoses about Pygmalion and Galatea and Pyramus and Thisbe was amply deployed by Shakespeare, to portray the relationship between Romeo and Juliet.

Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales

Throughout Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," love remains a human unifying element.  Without love, the fabric of humanity crumbles at the altar of class hatred and unwarranted divisions.

Thus, Ovid's Metamorphoses continue to bring out many attractive Galateas in many literary and artistic works that are worthy of modern-day Pygmalion's attention .
