The myth of Gemini

Often the constellation Gemini depicts in the form of the spirit of the brothers, the two Dioscuri or heavenly twins. They are children of the same mother Leda, but different fathers: the mortal Tindareus and the immortal Zeus. According to legend, Leda was wife Tindareus, the king of Sparta, but Zeus who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan. So Castor was the mortal son of Tindareus, and Pollux the divine son of Zeus. When one of the brothers, Castor, was killed, then the second persuaded Zeus to allow him to share with his brother immortality, because Pollux very fond of his brother and did not imagine his life without him. As a result, they have become inseparable and spend alternate days on Olympus as gods, and in Hades, the realm of the dead, as deceased mortals. That’s why Gemini are so different and often surprise others with their impermanence.
