GEMINI (The Twins)



The twins Castor and Pollux were the children of Zeus, the King of the Gods, and Leda the Queen of Sparta. The two were devoted friends, extremely brave, and together achieved great fame from their exploits on the famous Argo expedition and many other adventures. The twins were always helping each other. In one battle, Castor was mortally wounded and died. In his grief, Pollux tried to take his own life, However Pollux had inherited more of the blood of his father Zeus, and was therefore immortal. Looking on as Pollux cried "Let me go to my brother Castor," Zeus took pity and raised both twins into the sky. Ever since, they have stood as a symbol of friendship.
