Kombabus

According to Lukians, Kombabus was a Syrian who was appointed by King Antiochus Soter to accompany his wife on her travels. According to the story , Kombabus castrated himself before starting these trips and gave the king the corresponding body parts in a locked container to prove the intervention. When he was later accused of having sexually engaged with the Queen and was already sentenced to death, opening this box saved him. Christoph Martin Wieland dealt with the legend in the story Kombabus . In the past, therefore, combining or combining was considered synonymous with castration.
