The Divine Twins — the youthful horse-riding brothers, sons of the Sky-god, who rescue sailors and ride beside the dawn: the Greek Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, and the Vedic Ashvins, with kin among the Baltic 'sons of God'. The Greeks set their twins in the sky as Gemini — so the Indo-European twins shine as a constellation. — comparative mythology
