A Hermaphroditus ia a mythical being in which the characteristics of male and female are combined. In Greek mythology, he was considered as the son of Aphrodite and Hermes - he was born a remarkably handsome boy with whom the water nymph Salmacis fell in love and prayed to be united forever. A god answered her prayer and merged their two forms into one and transformed them into an androgynous form.
