Castor and Pollux

Can anyone give an in-depth story on Castor and Polydeuces(Pollux)?

Sounds like Captor and Sollux. Sorry I had to reference Homestuck.

I see. I was referring to Castor and Pollux, the twins.

I could, but you could just look it up... or I could scan some pages for you, but I wouldn't be able to until much later in the day.

I know that Castor was a horseman and Pollux was a boxing champion. I just want to know what influence these stars can have.

This has some cool stuff about the Mythology of Castor and Pollux. Not really if its what you are after.

Other than that i only know a little about the actual stars from what i have read on wikipedia. Stuff like "Castor is the second brightest star in the constellation Gemini and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. etc" Actually the wikipedia page is an interesting read.

I forgot which is which, but the mortal twin died and the other was so distraught he gave up half his immortality to share with his brother and they ended up alternating days on Earth.

That's the version I heard most often.

I've heard that Pollux is in the 20th degree of Cancer. Maybe that's why Cancers, especially 3rd decan Cancers are good at boxing.

It's a star in Gemini's constellation... I don't know how that gets into Cancer...

Pollux is in the 20th degree of Cancer.......
