Castor and Pollux

Castor and Pollux were twins born from a single egg, Castor was mortal while Pollux was immortal. The twins were always seen together, even at war. My sister and I are similar to Castor and Pollux because we spend any time that we get with each other. From anywhere in school to at home, we sit next to each other and we stay in our room together. I considered her to be both my best friend and sister. In one variation of the myth, the twin’s herd of cattle was taken by their cousins. Upon stealing

In Peter Paul Rubens's The Rape of the Daughters of Leuppicus, he captures the story of two brothers, the mortal Castor and the immortal Pollux, who kidnap the sisters Phoebe and Hilaeira who are the daughters of Leucippus. Castor, the horse-tamer, is recognizable from his armor while Pollux is recognizable from his bare and free upper body. They are also distinguished by their horses.

Two recognizable images are Castor, who is dressed in garb common for a horse tamer, while Pollux is completely nude. In the image, it is clear that the two daughters are being taken away against their will by the two men with their horses. The exact location of

great deal of sub-textual information. The following is an analysis of two of the more significant allusions. The youngest member of the trio of thieves that steal from the Luries and rape Lucy is named Pollux. This is likely an allusion to the Greek myth, Castor and Pollux. Castor and Pollux are half-brothers. Their myth involves in part the kidnapping and rape of the Leucippides, Phoebe and Hilaeira, who become pregnant as a result of the rapes. This aspect of the myth is very similar to the

sacrifice to all of the gods except Artemis. Enraged, Artemis sends a giant boar to ravage the fields of Calydon. According to the Iliad, Oeneus calls on his son Meleager to organize a hunting party (which includes, interestingly, the twin warriors Castor and Pollux, Meleager's cousins). The boar is killed and the meat divided. However, Meleager's uncles are offended that he has given a greater portion to the huntress Atalanta, and after further combat Meleager kills them, which incites his own mother to

Script: Leda She is the mother of famous twin star, Pollux and Castor. Also, she bore Helen, the most beautiful mortal on Earth causing the great Trojan War. Leda appeared in one of Zeus’s affair, which the story is named “Leda and the swan”. The swan In this story the swan was the disguise of Zeus who was obsessed by his own passionate love for Leda.
