Ligdus, a poor man, has no capability to support a girl who would require more than a boy. So he wanted his pregnant wife to have a son if not so he would put the baby to death. He did not change his mind that wanted a son despite Telethusa, his dear wife prated in vain to him. Then, Telethusa went to the temple prayed to Goddess let her going to have a son. At night, she dreamed the Goddess, Isis came to her dream promised to help and rave comfort her not to worry about the child. When the child was born that exactly was a girl. Telethusa ordered the nurse told her husband that the baby was a boy and they conceal him baby’s sex. Ligdus was very happy and thanked the God also named the baby Iphis Telethusa was most pleased with this because it was a name suite for male or female. She raised her daughter as a son and Iphis’ feature was surely handsome. When Iphis was thirteen year old, her father arranged her to marry Ianthe, a Crete’s daughter, a beautiful girl. Iphis and Ianthe learned arts and letter at the same tutor. Both of them were beautiful, and also the same age, they were fell in love with each other soon. But Telethusa was very worry for her daughter sex secret known by her husband, Ligdus, and killed her. So she brought Iphis to the Goddess, Isis’ temple prayed to Isis helped them solved the problem what they faced. Isis responded them and while they came back Iphis was transformed into a boy on the way home. Iphis married Ianthe as a man. According to this story from idea of the author we can see not only the present day but also ancient times have the homosexual. I think Ligdus was not really want to killed his child that was merely of his property could not support a girl lived with lighthearted life. We also can feel mother’s love from Telethusa, she raised her daughter concealed from her husband.
