Madeline Miller knows how to rework these myths and make them entirely her own. I loved her own interpretation and perspective on this story, and also enjoyed reading her thoughts after finishing the tale.

Minor: Abortion

[Rating actualizado post relectura.]
"Galatea" es un retelling de Galatea y Pigmalión, la historia de un escultor enamorado de su obra y logra cobre vida.
Esta versión nos presenta una visión más profunda. Pigmalión no encontraba a una esposa perfecta, por lo cuál decidió esculpirla y por la voluntad de Venus, se volvió humana.
Mientras que el mito gira entorno a la visión masculina de la esposa bella y perfecta, este cuento le da vuelta y se centra en Galatea y la dinámica de poder con su marido, logrando una mirada mucho más interesante que nos muestra personajes totalmente humanos con todas sus miserias.
Son solamente 20 páginas y transmite muchísimo. Es una lectura muy recomendable aunque es necesario tomar en cuenta las adventencias, nada extremadamente gráfico pero son situaciones que no están endulzadas.
TW: abuso sexual, relaciones tóxicas, suicidio.

"Galatea" is a retelling of Pygmalion, the story of a sculptor who falls in love with his work and brings it to life.
This version has more layers. Pygmalion could not find a perfect wife, so he decided to sculpt her and by the will of Venus, she became human.
While the myth revolves around the male vision of the beautiful and perfect wife, this story turns it around and focuses on Galatea, achieving a much more interesting look that shows us the characters with all their miseries.
It's only 20 pages and it conveys a lot. It's a highly recommended reading although it is necessary to take into account the warnings.
TW: sexual assault, toxic relationship, suicide.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Sexual assault, and Suicide
Moderate: Rape, Abortion, and Child abuse
