      I'm pretty sure she means Hermaphroditus, Aphrodite and Hermes' child (and originator of the term for intersex people now regarded as a slur)

      That said, when the nymph Salmacis prayed to Zeus to let her wish be fulfilled that she be united with Hermaphroditus forever by being merged with him in one body, Aphrodite probably intervened to ensure the resulting new demigod would still physically resemble her

      When I read this it was after dark and I was outside by the fire pit and I probably greatly alarmed up all my neighbors with my dreadful cackle

      I can't remember if I've told you about my weird headcanon that Hermaphroditos should be regarded as a deadname and she probably would have just gone by Salmakis after that I'd like to think that if I transitioned by being physically absorbed by a cis girl I'd just take her name

      But in the myth Salmakis was the one who was obsessively in love with Hermaphroditus and he just kind of passively accepted it

      Well it's weird right Because the waters of the fountain of Salmakis in Halikarnassos was purported to have effects basically identical to the effects of estrogen And regardless of how Ovid narrates it, Hermaphroditos just swan-dove right into that

      The Salmakis Inscription (found by the fountain in Halikarnassos, dating to about a century before Ovid) describes Hermaphroditos as having "invented" marriage and married Salmakis beneath those estrogen-filled waters which "make gentle the savage minds of men"

      If you try to reconcile Ovid with the inscription I guess what you get is that Hermaphroditos and Salmakis became the "perfect" wedded couple by becoming so unified in purpose they were unified in body But depictions of Hermaphroditos are of a trans girl with silver wings, so

      I've always kind of gotten the vibe that Salmakis literally IS estrogen, she's the latent manifestation of it, she is femininity in elemental form So of course she "merges" with Hermaphroditos, he's literally swimming in estrogen when she feels the inclination to do so

      She was a rebel against the goddess Diana and had no interest in sporty butch pursuits

      And yet the whole uncomfortable thing is it's a rape narrative, Ovid describes her as leaping onto him and dragging him beneath the surface

          Ovid is the father of the force-fem genre, yeah

          I always kind of thought that Ovid's own misogyny was leaking into that narration, or something like that, like in an Aristotelian sense what happens to Hermaphroditos is some Flowers for Algernon shit, he gets degraded by womanhood and his divine aspect diluted by a lower being
