Hermaphoditus and Salmacis by Albane or Albani

Once upon a time in ancient Greece, there was an enchanted pool. This pool was sacred to Salmacis, the water nymph. And one day Hermaphroditus, a beautiful boy, went swimming there. Salmacis looked upon the handsome boy and her lust was kinkled. She swam nearer to get a closer look. The water nympth tried to control herself. But the boy's beauty was too much for her. Looking was not enough. Salmacis swam nearer and nearer. And then, overpowered by desire, she caught the boy form behind, wrapping her arms around him. Hermaphroditus struggled to free himself from the tenacious grip of thn water nymph, but Salmacis was too strong. So unbridled was her lust that the two became one. Their bodies fused, male to female, female into male.
