Any literature on the subject of androgyny, especially its role in ancient times or cults. I recently read Plato's Symposium which has that famous passage about the original hermaphrodites, and some years ago I read Artaud's Heliogabalus which has numerous description of rituals regarding the unification of masculine and feminine principles, the role of Emperor Heliogabalus as its earthly manifestation, and things like that. Essays are good, I vaguely remember Mircea Eliade having something on the subject but I'm not sure. Works of fiction are good too; I guess something like Euripides' Bacchae would nicely fit the description.So, well, anything on the subject is appreciated

And his appearance inspired by the child actor from Death In Venice) from the Japanese epic Heldensagen vom Kosmosinsel, which was later adapted into a famous anime series.
