The Transgender God of Ancient Greece: Hermaphroditus

In Greek mythology, Hermaphroditus (sometimes spelled Hermaphroditos) was a deity who personified androgyny and dual sexuality. According to the myth, Hermaphroditus was the child of the Greek god Hermes and the nymph Salmacis. Hermaphroditus and the myth surrounding them have been subjects of artistic representation and cultural interpretation throughout history. The myth is often seen as a symbol of the merging of opposites, emphasizing the duality of nature and the blurring of gender boundaries.
