They are also both obsessed with remaining pure. Both are misogynistic with Hippolytus believing that women are morally corrupt and will ruin his pureness. Pygmalion believes the same in that women are just lust filled creatures that will ruin his pureness. But Pygmalion unlike Hippolytus does desire a women just one he deems as perfect which is one that doesn't speak, nameless, and compliant. Both have an love affair with a statue. Hippolytus's love affair is more subtle where he just says that his wife is a statue but Pygmalion actually marries his statue that is brought to life.
