Androgyny is a term derived from the Greek words anér, meaning man and gyné, meaning woman, that can refer to either of two related concepts about gender. There is another term designating the same phenomenon – hermaphrodite. The word also originates from Greek mythology: the son of god Hermes and goddess Aphrodite, a feminine young man of incredible beauty, was named as Hermaphroditus. The young man was then fused with a nymph, Salmacis, resulting in one individual possessing physical traits of both sexes.
