Castor is the elder twin brother of [[Polydeuces]], and together they are called the Dioscuri or the Hero Twins. Both Castor and Polydeuces have the same mother, Leda, but have different fathers. Castor's father is a mortal man named Tyndareus, while Polydeuces's father was the god [[Zeus]], hence making Polydeuces immortal, while Castor is a mortal. During Castor's death, Polydeuces asked his father Zeus to share his immortality to Castor, and they were transformed into the Gemini constellation. | Castor is the elder twin brother of [[Polydeuces]], and together they are called the Dioscuri or the Hero Twins.
