Aphroditus (Ἀφρόδιτος) was a male Aphrodite originating from Amathus on the island of Cyprus and celebrated in Athens in a transvestite rite.
Aphroditus was portrayed as having a female shape and clothing like Aphrodite’s but also a phallus, and hence, a male name. 
One of the earliest surviving images from Athens is a fragment, found in the Athenian agora, of a clay mould for a terracotta figurine. The figurine would have stood about 30cm high, represented in a style known as anasyromenos (άνασυρόμενος ), a female lifting her dress to reveal male genitals, a gesture that was believed to have apotropaic qualities, averting evil influences and bestowing good luck.
