Transgender Aphrodite
Manage episode 307960357 series 2094124
Despite inspiring desire of all kinds in people of all genders, Aphrodite herself is often depicted as a cisgender woman. But not always.
Ancient writers tell us of mystery cults that worshipped Aphrodite as a transgender woman--or perhaps as nonbinary or intersex. And when you delve into her most ancient roots, there’s an even older tradition of worship led by transgender priestesses.
Join us as we uncover the historical and mythological evidence for a transgender Aphrodite.
