Stargazing 101: Gemini, the Twins

It’s exciting to see many of these stories start to intertwine! The Gemini brothers, as I mention later on, have been involved in many adventures throughout Greek mythology. They rescued their sister, Helen of Troy, the first time she was abducted (a separate abduction from the Trojan War.) I’m also really enjoying these cover images by Sidney Hall. (http://www.art.com/gallery/id--a26639/sidney-hall-posters.htm?ui=BF3DD3B8902D431F921A3ADFA7CCC1E4) The Mythology
You may recall Leda, who was seduced by Cygnus the Swan (Zeus.) (http://clapway.com/2015/07/03/stargazing-101-cygnus-the-swan987/)
She was impregnated by the swan and also by her husband, making half of her spawn mortal and the other half demi-gods.
