According to rabbinic literature, the androgyne was a creature that existed at the beginning of Creation. It was both male and female and had two faces.

That page gets Genesis 1:26-27 utterly wrong. The word they mistranslate as “humankind” is actually the Hebrew word “Adam”.

The Jews were in captivity in Babylon and then by the Medo-Persian Empire for seventy years; before that, there were plenty of pagan influences in Judah whose adherence unto led to the Judaean captivity in the first place. The so-called “androgyne” had clearly crept in from those pagan corruptions.

Babblings is correct!
