According to Ovid, he fused with the nymph Salmacis resulting in one individual possessing physical traits of male and female sexes;[8]](Hermaphrodite - Wikipedia) according to the earlier Diodorus Siculus, he was born with a physical body combining male and female sexes.[9]](Hermaphrodite - Wikipedia) The word hermaphrodite entered the English lexicon as early as the late fourteenth century.[10]](Hermaphrodite - Wikipedia) Alexander ab Alexandro stated, using the term hermaphrodite, that the people who bore the sexes of both man and woman were regarded by the Athenians and the Romans as monsters, and thrown into the sea at Athens and into the Tiber at Rome.[11]](Hermaphrodite - Wikipedia)
