Hermafrodaiti (Hermaphroditus)

Katika mitholojia ya Kigiriki, Hermafrodaiti alikuwa mwana wa Afrodaiti na Herme. Kulingana na Ovidi, alizaliwa mvulana mrembo sana, akabadilishwa kuwa kiumbe mwenye jinsia mbili kwa muungano na nimfi wa maji aliyeitwa Salmasisi. Jina lake ni msingi wa neno la Kiingereza hermaphrodite, yaani "huntha".

In Greek mythology, Hermaphroditus was the son of Aphrodite and Hermes. According to Ovid, he was born a very beautiful boy, and was transformed into an androgynous being by the union with the water nymph Salmacis. His name is the basis of the English word hermaphrodite, which is "huntha" (in Swahili).
