Castor and Pollux, alternatively Kastor and Polydeukes, were legendary twins in Greek and Roman mythology, known together as the Dioskouroi.
According to the myth, they were both born at the same time by Leda, though they had different fathers; Pollux was fathered by Zeus, Castor by Leda's husband, the King of Sparta Tyndareus.
By 431 BCE, an altar dedicated to the twins had been raised in the Forest of Eurotas in Lakonia, Greece.[1]
Trivia
- In Greek, they were known as Διόσκουροι (Dióskouroi) meaning 'the youths of Zeus'. In Latin, this became Dioscuri. Colloquially, this has come to mean an inseparable couple.
