Abstract
Although the evidence about the myth of Hermaphroditus leads to the conclusion that it originates from the later period, the written evidence from the Mycenaean period points out of some peculiar connection of Hermes to the female divinities. According to this, Hermes and Aphrodite can be united in the bisexual figure of Hermaphroditus as a consequence of their own bisexual background.
