The Greeks saw Gemini as two twins, Castor and Pollux, who were both mothered by Leda, but had different fathers, as Leda was made pregnant in the same night by Zeus and her husband. So, Pollux was immortal, whereas Castor was mortal. They both had their talents; Pollux was strong, and Castor was good with horses. They both voyaged in search of the Golden Fleece (which is kind of similar to the Holy Grail). Afterwards, they both fought in the Trojan War to bring their sister, Helen, back to her husband. Pollux was devastated when Castor died, and asked Zeus to let Castor share his immortality. Zeus agreed, and they were reunited in the night sky, forever together.
