 Teiresias
He was the son of Everes, the Sheperd, and Chariclo, the Nymph.
His ancestor, Udaeus, was one of the Sparti who rose from the ground after Cadmus, the founder of Thebus, sowed the teeth of a dragon.
Tiresias’s mother, Chariclo the Nymph, begged Athena to restore his eyesight; however, it is not within Athena’s power to do so because the penalty of blindness for beholding a god was an old law of Cronos, Zeus’s father.

 Tiresias | Tiresias, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
Tiresias' mother, the nymph Chariclo 1 who was dear to Athena and one of her attendants, asked the goddess to restore his sight, but Athena, not being able to do so, cleansed instead his ears in such a way that she caused him to understand the sounds of birds.
It is also said that Athena did not take the sight of young Tiresias; as the goddess explained to Chariclo 1, these were the old laws of Cronos, which inflicted the penalty of blindness on any mortal who beheld an immortal without consent.
Since Tiresias' blindness could therefore not be taken back, Athena bestowed on him the power to utter oracles, to understand the birds (the bird-observatory of Tiresias could still be visited many generations after his death), to live a long life, and after his death, to keep his understanding among the dead.

Later legend told that he lived for seven (or nine) generations, dying after the expedition of "the Seven" against Thebes, and that he had once been turned into a woman as the result of killing the female of two coupling snakes; on killing the male he regained his own sex.
One theory was that it was a punishment for revealing the secrets of the gods, which he had learned from his mother, the nymph Chariclo.
Another theory was that he enraged Hera, who had contended to her husband, Zeus, that women had less pleasure in love than men, by telling her that love gave women ten times more pleasure than it gave men.

Some narrate tales of same-sex passion (Narcissus; Nisus and Euryalus) and abduction (Zeus and Ganymede, among many others); others recount a rejection of socially prescribed and sanctioned heterosexuality (the Amazons, the Danaids and the Lemnians); still others provide an aetion for same-sex passion and action (as the myth of Orpheus in Ovid's Metamorphoses).
There are also other, less familiar myths, which can be read queerly (Chariclo, beloved of Athena; Polyboea, sister of Hyacinthus; Iphis and Ianthe).
These myths are narrated in various sources, such as Pausanias' Guidebook, Athenaeus' Deipnosophistai, the pseudo-Aristotelian Problemata, or recounted and analyzed by Artemidorus.
