  ABSTRACT: Pygmalion is an archetypal mythological figure, which reflected in many poems, drama plays and short stories. Pygmalion, by George Bernard Shaw, clearly referenced to this mythical archetype. In 1921, Shaw wrote Back to Methuselah (1921). Pygmalion, written at the end of his second decade as a playwright. Shaw never freed himself from the irritating demands of these unconscious images. Another decade passed and Pygmalion appeared again as an actual character in Back to Methuselah.
