Castor （a horseman） and Pollux （a boxer） fell in love with beautiful sisters，daughters of Leudippus，who were already betrothed to suitors. According to the myth，these suitors，named Idas and Lynceus，were reputed cousins of Castor and Pollux by virtue of Poseidon，God of the Sea，who was rumored to be their father. The twins challenged Idas and Lynceus in battle and slew their rivals，but Castor was mortally wounded by Idas in the process. Overcome with grief，Pollux would have committed suicide in order to be with his beloved brother，but since he was an immortal，this proved to be impossible. Finally，Zeus placed both their immortal souls together in the sky as symbols of brotherly love……the precept they had demonstrated so gallantly throughout their lives on Earth. However，this gift did not come without a price. Zeus determined that for the rest of eternity，the twins would have to alternate between the light and the dark……spending one day on Olympus and then the next day in Hades.
Many statues and temples were once erected to Castor and Pollux and they were often carved as figureheads on ships. The Apostle Paul sailed on one such adorned ship from the Isle of Melita during his journey to Rome. Images representing this constellation have been found on both Greek and Roman coins，and the image of the twins also appeared on Babylonian boundary stones as well as charts of the heavens. Known to be handsome and adventurous young men，they perpetuate the memories of a roving and carefree life by acting as the protectors of sailors and of hospitality. Their nature was said to be energetic and volatile，vain，talktative and curious. In modern times，the twins have once again been ingrained in history as a critical part of Earth's journey into space when Project Gemini placed into orbit two men aboard one spacecraft.
