Hercules and the Dream Date

Pymoglian, the Prometheus academy art teacher is old, decrepit, toothless and far from being what any woman would consider a catch. So it comes as something of a surprise to Hercules when he finds out Mrs Pymoglian is a stunningly gorgous vision of a woman who for all appearances is totally in love with the old man. Icarus explains that she was actually a statue that Pymoglian created that Aphrodite brought to life. The perfect solution to Hercs recent problems of not having a date for an upcoming dance.

With Aphrodites help Zues's son sculpts his dream girl Galatea, unfortunatly he is so entraced by the outer beauty that he glosses over the personality, simply requesting that she be 'crazy about him'.

Crazy is all too appropriate. She's not just in love, Galatea is clingy, obsessive and insanly jealous to the point of threatening any girl who shows the smallest interest in her man. Not good since she still possesses an amorphic clay body which she can fashion into a variety of deadly forms. This all leads to a confrontation which leaves Herc going to the dance alone.

At the dance Galatea attacks once again. Forcing Hercules to harden the clay in her body until she cannot move. Just in time as Aphrodite appears, hoping Hercules realised the lesson that you can't just create the perfect partner. She brings Glatea back to life, granting her a true personality. She reconiles with Hercules, but expresses that she doen't like him like that and leaves.

A disenharted Hercules does realise that he can't just make a woman out of clay which the goddess of love is proud of him for. However when Mr Pymoglian expresses his pride in the boy for not taking the easy way, Hercules asks why he's proud of him when Pymoglian still has his clay wife, to which he responds.

"Are you kidding?! Look at her! Look at me!" He's then carried off in his wifes clay tentacles, giggling happily.

Aphrodite puts a hand on Hercules shoulder, consoling that not 'everyone' gets the lesson.
