They are regarded as one of the main important sources that provide writers with many topics to explore, themes to depict, characters to portray, and motifs to analyze. However, some writers do not move beyond the events of the myth; they attempt to deal with it without violating its literary elements and events. On the other hand, some adapt its various elements to create a new work. In this paper, Al-Hakim’s play <em>Pygmalion</em> is at the centre. It attempts to investigate, explore and analyze Al-Hakim’s use of the myth of Pygmalion in creating his play<em> Pygmalion.</em> It also attempts to examine whether he adopts the same version of the Greek myth of Pygmalion or he violates its elements to create a new treatment of the myth.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Indonesian EFL Journal: Journal of ELT, Linguistics, and Literature}, author={Al-Haidari, Ali Saleh Ahmed and Faraj, Mansour Mohammed Ali}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={103-115} }
