Gemini represents the twins Polydeuces (Pollux in Latin) and Castor. Their mother was Leda, and Polydueces’ father was Zeus and Castor’s father was King Tyndareus. Because of his parentage, Polydeuces was immortal, while Castor was not. The twins were inseparable and were involved in many adventures, including Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece. In a fight over two women with another pair of twins, Castor was killed. Polydeuces, not wanting to be without Castor, asked to share his immortality with his brother. Zeus let the two stay together, spending part of their time on Olympus and part in Hades.
