Aphroditos (who knew)

Quite a while ago I had a dream in which I saw two bearded men in bridal
attire.  One was dark-skinned.  The other was light-skinned.  Both had
lumberjack beards, and seemed to be marrying each other.  I've long
wondered about a possible mythology behind this dream.

Today I found out about the "Bearded Aphrodite" AKA Aphroditos.

Why hasn't Pynchon mentioned this creature?  V-nex?
