I thought of the story of Tiresias too. The story actually goes, Tiresias was turned into a woman after he killed a female snake whilst it was in copulation with a male snake. He turned back into a male after he repeated the same process with a male snake. B/c he had experience as both a man and woman, he was asked to solve a dispute between Jove and Juno as to who enjoyed sex more. Well, Juno didn't like his answer and made him blind. Jove helped the guy out by giving him prophetic insight. He appears in both Ovid's sensual account of Roman myth in "Metamorphoses" and in the incestuous tale of "Oedipus, Rex".
Cool story, just wanted to share.
