Power Dynamics, Gender Neutrality in Ancient Cults
The conversation explores the rejection of traditional gender roles within the cults of Cybele and Mithras. Twyman notes that Cybele was often depicted as a hermaphrodite who despised traditional sex roles, while the Mithras cult was an all-male, potentially homosexual or ascetic order. She argues these traditions were less about sexual orientation and more about achieving power through the subversion of natural biological norms.
