Founded in 2000, Pygmalion takes its name from the Greek legend of a Cypress king who sculpts a statue of the sea nymph Galatea. So real and beautiful is the statue to Pygmalion, he falls helplessly in love with it and spends the rest of his life adoring it. The Krewe of Pygmalion was founded by a group of Carnival veterans to provide a high-quality parade for the first week of the season. This organization is formed by 250 male and female riders.
