The archetypes used in Ovid's tale is that of a creator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archetypes are the patterns which are used in the English literature. These are the types or the patterns which occur over and over again. In Ovid's tale, the archetype that was used was that of a creator where the sculptor created the statue of woman.

In Ovid's tale, the sculptor Pygmalion created a beautiful statue of a woman and he fell in love with that statue. He wanted that statue to come into life and his request was granted by goddess of love, Venus.
