[from the American Heritage College Dictionary] Seraphitus, Seraphita - Reference to an 1835 story by Balzac. Seraphita is a mystical androgynous being who changes sex. Seraphita wears "a formless garment which resembles equally a woman's robe and a man's mantle." http://www.digital.library.upenn.edu/webbin/gutbook/lookup?num=1432 http://jollyroger.com/library/SeraphitabyHonoredeBalzacebook.html Dioskuroi - The "Sons of Zeus," or the Gemini. Depicted as males, they are Kastyr and Polydeukes (Castor and Pollux); as females, Clytemnaestra and Helen of Troy. The Dioskuroi were two sets of twins. The children hatched from two giant eggs laid by Leda, a mortal woman whom the god Zeus had raped after taking the form of a swan. Kastyr and Helen were the immortal children of Zeus, while Polydeukes and Clytemnaestra were the mortal children of Leda's husband, King Tyndareus of Sparta. Therefore, of each set of twins, male and female, only one twin was immortal. Anima - In Jungian psychology, the feminine inner personality of men. [from the American Heritage College Dictionary] Animus - In Jungian psychology, the masculine inner personality of women. [from the American Heritage College Dictionary]
