Pygmalion & Galatea- Chelsea Southworth

A young Greek sculptor decided he wasn't interested in women any more, since they were inherently flawed; ironically enough, he soon dedicated all of his time and effort to a sculpture of a woman. As he worked on the sculpture, whose name was Galatea, he fell in love and quickly became obsessed with her. Aphrodite, impressed with his devotion, turned Galatea from ivory to flesh. Pygmalion and Galatea lived a happy, love-filled life, and never stopped thanking Aphrodite for her miracle.

I would be thrilled beyond belief if Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones was real. If she was brought to life, the world would be a better place for it. Dany would ensure a legitimate end to all forms of modern slavery (she isn't called Breaker of Chains for nothing), put an end to the patriarchy (just because she's a Khaleesi doesn't mean she can't lead like Khal), and unify the globe so we could work together (if she can be the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, the Seven Continents can't be that bad). And if the Mother of Dragons was brought to life, wouldn't her dragons have to be as well? Depending on their age, her dragons are either adorable or fierce, but either way they're awesome.
