In Babylonian mythology. the stars Castor and Pollux were known as the Great Twins The Twins were regarded as minor gods and were called Meshlamtaea and Lugalirra, meaning 'The One who has arisen from the Underworld' and the 'Mighty King'.

Pollux was the son of Zeus, whohad a baby with Leda, while Castor was the son of Tyndareus, king of Sparta and Leda's husband.] When Castor died, because he was mortal, Pollux begged his father Zeus to give Castor immortality, and he did, by uniting them together in the stars.
