Mythological story of the constellation.
In classical Greece, the constellation represents Leda's twins born of different fathers. One mortal and one immortal (son of Zeus), who shared everything except death. Pollux, seeing his brother Castor threatened with death, asked Zeus to also take away his life in order to not separate from his brother. Finally, Zeus gave them both immortality, with the condition that thw two brothers together descended to Hades (to death) the first part of the year and the second half to come back to life in Olympus.
