Mythology
Castor and Pollux
The myth of Castor and Pollux (Greek: Polydeuces) is one of the richest symbolic stories in Greek mythology. Beyond being an ancient legend, it can be understood as a profound map of the human psyche and as the archetypal foundation of the astrological sign Gemini.
Mythology
Persephone
