About the Book

Step into the celestial realm and delve deep into the captivating world of The Divine Twins: The Dioskouroi, revered as the guardians of sailors, equestrians, and the sanctuaries of our homes.
Introduce yourself to Kastor and Pollux, inseparable twin half-brothers, affectionately known as the Διόσκουροι, "Zeus' Boys." Born of the mortal queen Leda and distinct fathers, their existence beautifully straddles the realms of the divine and the earthly. Kastor, a mortal, bore the lineage of King Tyndareus of Sparta, while Pollux, graced with divine heritage, was Zeus' offspring, his divine presence concealed in the guise of a swan. Their enigmatic birth, at times enshrouded in the myth of an egg, brought forth not only these twins but also their renowned sisters, Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.
Yet, it is the unbreakable bond shared by these twins that transcends the bounds of mortality and immortality. Driven by an unwavering love, Pollux fervently implored Zeus to share his immortality with Kastor, eternally uniting them. In response, the King of the Gods granted their wish, immortalizing them as the radiant constellation Gemini, an enduring testament to the potency of brotherhood.
Embraced as the cherished guardians of the home by the Thessalians, Kastor and Pollux are invoked for the protection of households, particularly when children are present. Festive gatherings held in their honor resound with youthful merriment, a heartfelt gesture to seek their divine benevolence.
Their divine presence graces Thessalian households, where their shrines adorn the interiors near the front door. Images of the twins and the iconic dókana, symbolizing unity with its crossbar bridging two upright posts, stand sentinel, offering their divine assistance to all in need. Through the Hermantic Oracle, they make their presence known, actively aiding those who seek their guidance.
The story of The Divine Twins is an odyssey of unity, safeguarding, and the everlasting ties of kinship. As you immerse yourself in their mythos and pay homage to their celestial grace, may you uncover inspiration and solace in the enduring legacy of Kastor and Pollux, the cherished guardians of the home and the beloved champions of sailors, travelers, and equestrians.
