galatea, the beloved (asteroid 74)
Once upon a time, Polyphemus, the Cyclops from the journey of Odysseus, fell in love. Galatea was a lovely Nereid who was in love with Acis (whose story I previously told). Polyphemus learned of this when he saw the two together thusly crushed Acis with a boulder and breaking the heart of Galatea. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) the types of lovers you attract, b) how those that love you tend to become jealous, and/or c) the terrible things that happen to those you love.
In another version, a sculptor named Pygmalion makes an ivory statue showcasing what he believes to be the ideal of womanhood and names it Galatea. He becomes so enamored by Galatea that he falls in love with her. Venus was enchanted by this and brought the statue of Galatea to life in answer to Pygmalion's prayers. The two then had a child named Paphos together. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) beauty/attractiveness, b) what makes you someone's ideal, c) who you can enchant with you looks, d) where your love story attracts a lot of attention, and/or e) where people tend to be extremely hopeful of having you in their lives.
i encourage you to look into the aspects of galatea along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of galatea AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede galatea!
OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS/PLANETS: aci (6522), ovidius (2800), VENUS, and pygmalion (96189)!

Galatea but I misspelt her name lmao 🥲
Galatea and Acis are my favourite part of ovid’s metamorphoses. Girl just wanted to hang out in peace with her boyfriend but Polyphemus just didn’t get the hint :(. At least he got turned into a river god! The first child friendly version of it I read might have excluded that part but I’m holding onto it because THEY DESERVE TO BE HAPPY

Chapter Four is posted!
Read here on AO3
Erik blinked, stupefied with anger; he held no fondness for the statue that once stood where Ottin’s trash now sat—another Venus, amusing as it was to see how quickly Paris ran through them. But where bland and inoffensive pornography once stood, now there was little more than a cheap passion play. Hideous Polyphemus, seconds away from smashing Acis beneath a rock in his jealousy. Beautiful Galatea on the brink of summoning up the tears that would save her human hobbyhorse and turn him into a river god, and oh—bravo—good for them.
It was bad enough he lacked a nose; it was worse that his face was somehow still being rubbed in that sort of sentimental horseshit, so close to his own home and after spending his work days elbows deep in it. Even when he tried his hardest to be like everyone else, the world seemed intent on reminding him of what he was. What love could only ever be for one such as him: a farce. A god-damned satyr’s play.
Fuck. How he hated it all—this treacle passing for public art, Paris herself for nurturing it, and himself for letting it affect him so deeply. It was one thing to bear the ridicule of men and the disgust of women, the endless double-takes and backwards glances that he tolerated every time he stepped out onto the street— that was one of the few dependable realities he had encountered wherever he went, sad as the thought was.
But to live in a city spilling over with monsters and lovers and somehow feel all the more lonely for it was another thing entirely.
