Notes
Diodorus Siculus (the historian, who died around 20 B.C.) says so, but he just says 
"Aphrodite," without being any more specific.  It is Ovid who, in the fourth book of his 
Metamorphoses, tells us that Hermaphroditus was seized lustily by the river-nymph 
Salmacis, with the result that the two of them were united into one double-sexed body. 
 Ovid once refers to Hermaphroditus as "Atlantiades," meaning "descendant of Atlas."
