This article argues that two schools of thought have developed to date: a psychological understanding of Roman gender that analyzes Attis's fluctuating emotions and a somatic one that locates gender identity in the body's (in)ability to change. Neither approach has won a consensus. Combining lessons from the poem's editorial history with premodern trans studies, I offer a different reading of Attis's gender, as entextualized, to provide new insights into interpreting and editing this long-standing textual problem. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Helios is the property of Texas Tech University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
