I
think
it
was
due
for
the
twin
halfyears
beginning
at

at

The

perhaps
depicted
as a

the
latter
as a
descending
fish

The
Eastern
One
of
the
Twins
(Mash-mashu-arkū)
was
Pollux,
at
their
12th
station,
whereas
Castor
was
at
the
preceding
station
in
the
west
(Mash-mashu-Mahrū).
This
may
at
first appear
strange,
because
both
the stars
and
the
Sun
are
rising
in
the
east
and
descending
in
the
west.
However,
Castor
was
the
mortal
one
and
he
should
therefore
die
in
the
west,
although
like
the
Dead
Man
to
be
brought
across
to
next
spring:
ºJuly
11
was
day
192
(=
384
/
2).
In
the
nakshatra
night
was
the
Eagle,
close
to
the
Full
Moon
295
nights
after
0h:
...
When
Castor
was
killed,
Pollux
asked
Zeus
to
let
him
share
his
own
immortality
with
his
twin
to
keep
them
together,
and
they
were
transformed
into
the
constellation
Gemini.
The
pair
were
regarded
as
the
patrons
of
sailors,
to
whom
they
appeared
as
St.
Elmo's
fire,
and
were
also
associated
with
horsemanship
...
...
Gemini
represents
the
twins
Castor
and
Polydeuces
(Pollux
is
the
Latin
form
of
his
name);
they
were
known
to
the
Greeks
as
the
Dioskouroi
(Dioscuri
in
Latin),
literally
meaning
‘sons
of
Zeus’.
However,
mythologists
disputed
whether
both
really
were
sons
of
Zeus,
because
of
the
unusual
circumstances
of
their
birth.
Their
mother
was
Leda,
Queen
of
Sparta,
whom
Zeus
visited
one
day
in
the
form
of a
swan
(now
represented
by
the
constellation
Cygnus).
That
same
night
she
also
slept
with
her
husband,
King
Tyndareus.
Both
unions
were
fruitful,
for
Leda
subsequently
gave
birth
to
four
children.
In
the
most
commonly
accepted
version,
Polydeuces
and
Helen
(later
to
become
famous
as
Helen
of
Troy)
were
children
of
Zeus,
and
hence
immortal,
while
Castor
and
Clytemnestra
were
fathered
by
Tyndareus,
and
hence
were
mortal
...
...
In
Greek
and
Roman
mythology,
Castor
...
Κάστωρ,
Kastōr,
'beaver',
and
Pollux
or
Polydeuces
...
Πολυδεύκης,
Poludeukēs,
'much
sweet
wine',
were
twin
brothers,
together
known
as
the
Dioscuri
Διόσκουροι,
Dioskouroi,
'sons
of
Zeus'.
Their
mother
was
Leda,
but
Castor
was
the
mortal
son
of
Tyndareus,
king
of
Sparta,
and
Pollux
the
divine
son
of
Zeus,
who
visited
Leda
in
the
guise
of a
swan.
Though
accounts
of
their
birth
are
varied,
they
are
sometimes
said
to
have
been
born
from
an
egg,
along
with
their
twin
sisters
Helen
of
Troy
and
Clytemnestra
