Machlyes (Medieval bestiaries)

(Machlyes were Libyan tribe of hermaphrodites or androgynes whose bodies were male on one side and female on the other. The historical tribe known as the Makhlyes inhabited the region about Lake Tritonis in north-west Libya. The warlike practices of the young women and long-hair of the men probably gave rise to the legend of androgyny.

The name perhaps derives from the Greek words makhlês and makhlos meaning "lewd" or "lustful". According to Herodotus, their young women held a ritual battle with sticks and stones annually with neighboring Auseans. Those who died of their wounds were said to have lied about their virginity.
