Wasn't active here for over a month so let's fix that!

Yesterday I was praying to lord Apollo for strength because my disabilities didn't let me practice much for a week. And in rainy dark day, sun started shining. I felt so comforted and I actually started to feel better.

χαίρε Απόλλωνα!

Guide to Hermaphroditus

A guide for hellenic polytheists.

CW: art containing genitalia, SA mention in myth

♥︎ Goddex of: hermaphrodites, effeminates, intersex and nonbinary beings, marriage.

♥︎ Name(s): Hermaphroditus, Hermaphroditos

♥︎ Old name(s) in myth: Aphroditus, Aphroditos, Atlantiades or Atlantius.

♥︎ Myth: They were once a young man named Aphroditos. He had inherited the beauty of his both parents. He was raised by nymphs of Mount Ida.

♥︎ Child of: Hermes and Aphrodite

♥︎ one of the Erotes

♥︎ Hermaphroditos was depicted as a winged youth with both male and female features- usually female thighs, breasts, and style of hair, and male genitalia.

In his fifteenth year he went to Caria; in the neighbourhood of Halicarnassus he laid down by the well Salmacis. The nymph of the well fell in love with him. She tried to win his affections but failed.

After that Aphroditos thought he was alone and went into water to take a bath. The nymph used the opportunity to SA him. During this she prayed to the gods that they might permit her to remain united with him for ever. The gods granted the request, and the bodies of the youth and the nymph became united in such a manner that the two together could not be called either a man or a woman, but were both.

After Hermaphroditus became aware of the change, they prayed that in future every one who bathed in the well should be turned into a hermaphrodite.
