In Crete, Ligdus had promised to pregnant Telethusa, that he would kill the child if it turned out to be a female. Telethusa grieved because she knew the child would be female. So she prayed and prayed, and nothing(?) happened. However, in the night, Isis came. Isis is the Goddess for a whole bunch of stuff, from simplicity, to sinners and artisans. She brought with her the jackal-headed God of mummification(:\) Anubis. Isis promised that no problem would happen. She told that the childs gender should be hidden from the King. (How???)
So, Iphis grew, really a girl, but shown as a boy. In eventuality, Iphis' marriage was declared, to a girl named Ianthe. Ianthe was really beautiful and after an extended courtship, fell in love with Iphis. Iphis reciprocated. However a little snag surfaced, gender snags. So followed another long period of prayer, after which (:D) nothing happened. Isis to the rescue, she came and changed the gender of Iphis. Iphis became a guy, and all other things were easily resolved. Alls well that ends well!!!
