Bisexuality in Republican Rome and the Güevedoces of Salinas (Dominican Republic): The Search for a Retrospective Diagnosis: OAJBS Publishers

Bisexuality in Republican Rome and the Güevedoces of Salinas (Dominican Republic): The Search for a Retrospective Diagnosis by Mercedes López Perez in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science 


The malformations of children and some disabilities, as well as strange natural phenomena, were considered by the Romans, especially in the Republican era, as wonders. The most striking example was the appearance of an androgynous or hermaphrodite, a human being who at birth had the monstrous appearance of having both sexes at the same time. The recommended rites or the atonement of the prodigy are the widest and most complete of the viri sacris faciundis school, which we know thanks to the Sibylline Books, the works of Titus Livius and Obsequens. Also, in the work of Diodorus of Sicily two cases of intersexuality are described, Heraides and Calo are two women who in adolescence or puberty undergo a genital transformation that ends up turning them into men.
