Gonna make a sequel to this (Helios, Poseidon, Zeus and Apollo)

Hermaphroditus (Hermaphroditos)

The son of Hermes and Aphrodite. Once a beautiful young man raised by nymphs of Mount Ida, he grew weary of his surroundings and by 15 journeyed out on his own to Caria. While in Halicarnassus at the well of Salmacis, he was spotted by the nymph of said name who fell madly in love with the youth. Eager to win him over, she praised him, looking her best and asked to be his. Stunned he was, and she continued, pleading and wrapping her arms around his neck. He roughly turned her down, and off she ran, behind a tree. When he believed her to be gone he undressed and jumped into the waters.

From behind the tree Salmacis watched him. Unable to contain her joy she undressed and rushed out, jumping in with him. The nymph caught hold of the boy, wrapping her body around his as he attempted to fight her off. She caressed him, fondled him, kissed him, denying him release. 

She strained to keep hold of him and thus prayed for any god to hear, praying to never let them part. Her prayer was answered and the two bodies fused, becoming one face; One form. Neither a man, nor a woman.

When he awoke to the change he grew furious, his looks and body no longer his. He cried out to his parents, exclaiming that, whosoever bathes in the waters a man will emerge half woman, instantly weakened. His parents heard his cry and the waters did as he wished.

Afterwards he became known as the god of hermaphrodites and effeminates, as well as a symbol for marriage.

Some say he occasionally appeared to men but others say he was considered a monstrosity and very rarely entered the world, and due to the lack of references for him it is believed the second is more accurate.

Hera hates having Artemis come over for dinner because she just shoves food into her mouth without chewing. Ares finds it funny.

I have always been a fan of Apollo with horns, but the ToA discord server introduced me to the idea of Apollo with bull horns and yeah I'm keeping that forever now.
