Salmacis

"......The child Hermaphroditus was the son of Hermes and Aphrodite, the result of a secret love affair. For this reason he was entrusted to the nymphs of the isolated Mount Ida, who allowed him to grow up as a wild creature of the woods. After his encounter with the water-nymph Salmacis, he laid a curse upon the water. According to fable, all persons who bathed in the water became hermaphrodites....."
Salmacis:
"We shall be one..."
"We shall be joined as one"
Narrator:
"She wanted them as one
Yet he had no desire to be one".
