Authority control

According to the Old-Greek Mythology was Salmacis the Goddess Wife of Hermaphroditos.; Her depiction is extraordinaire, because Salmacis was the single (contemporary known) Nymphe which is not classified to the "Neirades" of the Diana.; Her husband was "Hermaphroditos", a double-gendered beeing of the Old-Greek mythology.; Salmacis is also the name of the location near the source, in which the Nymph shall have been lived.; Salmacis and Hermaphroditos were often depicted in the world of arts, among others in an etching from 1581 by Virgil Solis (1514-1562) as then book-illustration.; mint stamp
