 Hermaphroditus and Salmacis - Mythology Web   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The nymph Salmacis, who was as beautiful as Hermaphroditus was manly, lived in a fountain of perfectly clear water near Halicarnassus.
Salmacis preferred to lounge by the edge and arrange the ferns that grew there to her liking, gaze at her lovely reflection in the water or comb her hair until every strand was just exactly where she thought it looked best.
In near ecstasy, Salmacis shouted to the heavens, imploring the Fates or the gods or whomever would listen to never allow the two of them to be separated.

According to one Greek myth, this handsome boy excited the passion of Salmacis, who was a nymph of a fountain near to the city of Halicarnassus in Asia Minor.
As a result, Salmacis prayed to the gods that she and Hermaphroditos could be eternally united.
Her prayer was answered, but perhaps not quite what she had in mind, for when Hermaphroditos decided to bathe in the fountain's water, Salmacis merged with him physically and the result was a female boy, a hermaphrodite.

In the pool lived the naiad Salmacis, who unlike other NAIADS, was not seen in the retinue of Artemis, since she preferred to gather flowers rather than go hunting.
On seeing him, Salmacis fell immediately in love and declared openly her love to him, but since he refused both love and kisses, she turned away and left, pretending to accept his rejection.
But then Salmacis appeared again in the waters, holding him fast, stealing kisses, and embracing him; and the more he tried to escape, the more she clung to him.

Salmacis: "The waters are disturbed Some creature has been stirred" Narrator: "The waters are disturbed Naiad queen Salmacis has been stirred" As he rushed to quench his thirst, A fountain spring appeared before him And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist, A liquid voice called, "Son of gods, drink from my spring".
He turned and saw her, in a cloak of mist alone And as he gazed, her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake.
A fading voice was heard: "And I beg, yes I beg that all who touch this spring May share my fate" Salmacis: "We are the one We are the one" Narrator: "The two are now made one, Demi-god and nymph are now made one" Both had given everything they had.

Hermaphroditus was a typical, if exceptionally handsome, young male with whom the water nympth Salmacis fell madly in love.
When Hermaphroditus rejected her sexual advances, Salmacis voyeuristicly observed him from afar while desiring him fiercely.
Salmacis immediately dove in after him - embracing him and wrapping her body around his, just as, Ovid says, ivy does around a tree.

 Salmacis
Salmacis was a fountain, located near the mausoleum at Halicarnassus.
However, It is very likely that Ovid fabricated the entire tale himself, his use of "praetereo, dulcique animos nouitate tenebo." could be read in several ways, as nouitate could be translated as either some strange or something new, which would imply that it was a new tale.
Salmacis could also have been intended simply as a contrast to the previous tales in Ovid's Metamorphoses, as others involve a dominant male persuing an elusive female.

 Ground and Sky review - Genesis - Nursery Cryme
"The Fountain of Salmacis" has a bit more bite to it, but is maybe a little over the top with its melodrama.
The opening of "The Return of the Giant Hogweed" has an unconvincing melody; the close of "The Fountain of Salmacis" is similarly unconvincing, and the lyrics have the twee quality of a group whose strongest literary influence is "Boy's Own Annual".
However, when you take into account the last two minutes of "The Return of the Giant Hogweed", the magnificent opening to "The Fountain of Salmacis" and Steve Hackett's wonderful guitar on "The Musical Box", this album is not at all bad.
