Castor (star)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Castor (α Geminorum) is the fainter star of the "heavenly twins." Pollux is its partner. Since Castor and Pollux are always considered together in ancient literature, see Pollux for the history and astrological significance of the two.

Astronomically, Castor was discovered to be a visual binary in 1719, with the magnitude of its components being 2.8 and 2.0. The separation of the components is about 6" and the period of revolution is around 350 years. Each of the components of Castor is itself a spectroscopic binary, making Castor a quadruple star system. Castor has a faint companion separated from it by about 72" but having the same parallax and proper motion; this companion is also a spectroscopic binary with a period slightly less than 1 day. Castor can thus be considered to be a sextuple star system, with six individual stars gravitationally bound together.

Castor and Polydeuces

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Castor and Polydeuces (sometimes called "Pollux"), were in Greek mythology the twin sons of Leda and Zeus and the brothers of Helen of Troy. They are called the Dioscuri (dios kouroi), meaning the "Sons of Zeus." Because Zeus seduced Leda while in the form of a swan, they are sometimes said to have been born from an egg. Polydeuces was a powerful boxer, and Castor a great horseman.

They are often linked to the constellation Gemini. In Roman mythology, Castor was venerated much more often Polydeuces. He was known as Castore.

When Theseus and Pirithous kidnapped their sister Helen and carried her off to Aphidnae, the twins rescued her and counter-abducted Theseus' mother, Aethra. Later, they accompanied Jason on the Argo; during the voyage, Polydeuces killed King Amycus in a boxing match.

When Astydameia, queen of Iolcus, offended Peleus, the twins assisted him in ravaging her country.

Castor and Polydeuces abducted and married Phoebe and Hilaeira, the daughters of Leucippus. In return, Idas and Lynceus, nephews of Leucippus (or rival suitors), killed Castor. Pollux was granted immortality by Zeus, and further persuaded Zeus to share his gift with Castor. (On some accounts, only Pollux was fathered by Zeus, while Leda and her husband Tyndareus conceived Castor. This explains why only Pollux was granted immortality.) Accordingly, the two spend alternate days as gods on Olympus and as deceased mortals in Hades.

Compare with Amphion and Zethus of Thebes, and with Romulus and Remus of Rome.

The constellation Gemini is said to represent these twins, and its brightest stars Castor and Pollux (α and β Geminorum) are named for them.
