Hermaphroditus

Ancient Greece

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Hermaphroditus is a child of Aphrodite and Hermes. Because Hermaphroditus was a child of Hermes, and consequently a great-grandchild of Atlas, he is sometimes called Atlantiades. He has an androgynous body similar to that of an intersex person, and he is a minor romance deity symbolizing intersexuality, androgyny, and marriage.
