Castor and Pollux are the male twins born to Zeus and Lida. Castor and Pollux loved each other very deeply. Castor was an excellent horse tamer and Pollux was a very good boxer and also an immortal. In a war after the expedition of the Golden Fleece, Castor and Pollux fought and as a result Castor died. Pollux was heart broken, and asked Zeus to spare his brother. Zeus asked Pollux to give up the immortal status and he will give him a special place in the heavenly abode. Pollux gladly agreed as he could reside forever with his brother in the skies. It is a story of great sacrifice and togetherness.
