Origins in Mythology
The constellation of Gemini has been seen as twin figures by cultures throughout the world, back into prehistory. The Greeks recognized them as Castor and Polydeuces. To the Romans they were Hercules and Apollo. Often perceived as twin boys, the lore sustains that they were placed in the night sky by Jove to honor and exemplify the fidelity of their brotherly love. In other instances they were seen as a sister and brother or two angels, then within later Christian traditions, as Adam and Eve.
Stories of hero twins are also related throughout the world. For the Greeks they were the children of Zeus and Leda, queen of Sparta.The exploits of these twins are many, and all heroic. In their youth they sailed with Jason to retrieve the Golden Fleece.
To the Romans, who knew them as Castor and Pollux, the twins were invoked on the field of battle to assure victory. For centuries beyond they were held as guardians to sailors on extended or risky voyages.
