ATTIS AND THE GALLI

“When Attis touched down on his/her land/island, he/she was immediately referred to as a female.” 

In the myth concerning the birth of the intersex deity Agdistis from the Phrygian Great Mother (Cybele/Agdus), Zeus attempted to assault the goddess, ejaculated onto a rock/stone instead, and the seed produced Agdistis.
