Androgynos (ἀνδρόγυνος andrógynos in Ancient Greek, plural andrógynoi) is an expression in Ancient Greek which is significant in literary mythology. The word is composed of ἀνήρ anḗr (otherwise conjugated as ἀνδρός andrós), meaning "man," and γυνή gynḗ, meaning "woman." Originally the term only described "effeminite" feminized men, such as the Scythian fortune teller in Herodotus' Histories.
