As recounted by the Roman poet Ovid, a young nymph, Salmacis, one
day spied Hermaphroditus bathing; consumed with passion, she
entered the water and, begging the gods to allow them to stay
together, the two became one - part man, part woman. An Eclectic
Pagan, for Elizabeth Ovid's fables are more than fiction, and form
a framework for exploring identity. Drawing on the rich
mythological history associated with the tale of Salmacis and
Hermaphroditus, and re-examining the tale through the lens of
metaphor, Salmacis: Becoming Not Quite a Woman is a stirringly
relatable and powerful exploration of gender, love and identity.
this is my lake salmacis, and i am the wild nymph with a hollow in
her belly and nothing between her legs
