Summary/Abstract: This article begins by analyzing the notion of sunousia, because the myth of Tiresias maintains a permanent link with sexuality through the prism of sexual metamorphosis. Secondly, we will examine the myth of Tiresias itself to show that it constitutes a Western hapax in the debate on love between men and women insofar as the figure of Tiresias, by creating a disturbance in the natural order of reproduction, refers to a space of transgression between the sexes and between worlds.
