Gemini - The origin and description of the name of the zodiac sign.

The region of the sky known today as the constellation Gemini, and in particular its two brightest stars, is associated with local myths in almost all cultures. In Egypt these objects were identified with a pair of germinating grains, while in Phoenician culture they were attributed to the form of a pair of goats. However, the most common interpretation is a description based on Greek mythswhere twins are shown holding hands in this region of the sky, Beaver and Pollux... They belonged to the crew of the ship of the Argonauts, they were the sons of Leda, and the father of each of them was someone else: Castor - the king of Sparta, Tyndareus, Pollux - Zeus himself. Their sister Helen became Queen of Sparta, and her abduction by Paris led to the Trojan War. The twins had many adventures together. Hercules learned the art of swordsmanship from Pollux. Castor and Pollux, due to their feelings for Phoebe and Hilaria, got into a fight with another pair of twins, Midas and Linze. Linkeus killed Castor, but Zeus killed Linkeus with lightning in return. The immortal Pollux constantly mourned the death of his brother and dreamed of following him to Hades. Zeus out of pity allowed them to live alternately in Hades and on Olympus. After Castor's death, his brother Pollux asked Zeus to grant his brother immortality. Then the most important of the Greek gods decided to send both brothers into the sky.
