The legend associated with Gemini tells that the two brothers Castor and Pollux, sons of Zeus, lived together in a deep friendship. Castor was mortal and Pollux immortal. Brave and physically strong, the two brothers distinguished themselves equally on the battlefield.

Love was the cause of the death of Castor, who kidnapped one of Leucippus' daughters, with whom he fell in love. Pursued by the girl's fiance, he was killed in the confrontation. Pollux, desperate over his brother's death, pleaded with Zeus to bring him back to life. So Zeus, who could not fully fulfill his request, joined the two brothers in the constellation Gemini so that they could both live together forever.
