Long Answer
1. Pygmalion’s obsessive love for Aphrodite pleases the goddess and ultimately leads to a positive outcome, his marriage to Galatea, who is created in Aphrodite’s image. But Narcissus’s obsessive self-love and Meleager’s obsessive love for Atalanta both lead to destruction—and ultimately to the deaths of Narcissus and Meleager. (Part 2, Chapter 5; Part 3, Chapter 4; Part 4, Chapter 2)
