The next in their Greek myth series, author Serge Le Tendre and artist Frédéric Peynet, breath life into the classic tale of Pygmalion and his statue that comes to life.

The tale itself is straightforward, with the rather clever explanation for how Aphrodite brought the statue to life, and tackles the slippery ideas of loving and being loved in return. The artwork is stunning, Peynet did a wonderful job of characterization and bringing life (pun intended) to the story outside of just the script. The addition of characters outside the best known version of the myth, specifically Agape and Ephebe, make the story more authentic as well as drive the plot forward.

However, I didn't love the representation of people outside the Greek population-- specifically the almost animalistic depiction of the Egyptian slave.

PYGMALION is a great graphic novel, sure to be enjoyed by many!
