I was hoping that this being a scientific forum that I wouldn't have to write about testosterone and its effects, but maybe I do have to, just so we can answer the OP's original question...

What we've been discussing here, "legendary artistic ability", is a relative and subjective concept, and there's no clear way to disentangle a biological basis from social and cultural factors in the past.

I took a look for "testosterone and sexual transmutation" as you suggested earlier, and mostly found strange, crackpottish links selling books such as "SEX TRANSMUTATION:How to use SEX to "electrify" your mental powers and become a rampant creative genius!"

I'm sorry, but that sort of stuff just sets my teeth on edge. If you have references to specifically testosterone-related studies from credible sources, that might fare better in the future when supporting your posts.

From the social sciences perspective, I think things have run their course here. Thread closed.
