The Constellation of Gemini - The boys of Leda (infamous for her story of Zeus appearing before her as a swan) Castor and Pollux had two fathers. Castor the son of a king and Pollux the son of Zeus. One immortal, one not both very different but held a deep love and synergy through their polarities and were inseparable despite their differences. It is now said that the personality of gemini's are versatile and perceptive, with the ability to read people and adjust to match their energy. As the set of twins did themselves in their adventures.
During a battle, Castor, being mortal, was killed. Heartbroken at the death of his brother, Pollux prayed to Zeus to make Castor immortal which meant Pollux would have to give up half of his immortality.
Eventually, Zeus agreed to the request, and so Castor and Pollux were transformed into the Gemini constellation. To balance the cosmos, the Dioscuri (The twins) would only be on Olympus one half of the year, and the other six months would be spent in the Underworld in the Elysium fields, an isle for the blessed and heroic in Hades.
