Tiresias was a blind prophet. It was said that he encounter with two snakes mating and he hit them with a stick. That’s how Tiresias changed into
a woman. Tiresias was then married and had kids. This article also states that “After
seven years as a woman, Tiresias again found mating snakes, struck them with
her staff, and became a man once more”. Tiresias was then later ask to choose
what sex he wants to be either a male which Hera stood by or a Female
which Zeus stood by. When Tiresias sided with Zeus, Hera got mad and
struck Tiresias blind. This is such an interesting story here is the website
that help me to understand the background of Tiresias more.
