Their mother was Leda, the queen of Sparta. Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, her husband, the king of Sparta. Pollux was the divine son of Zeus, who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan. 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 and were also associated with horsemanship.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 1px;\" data-mce-style=\"margin-left: 1px;\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 227px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 227px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: hidden; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 5px width: 555px; height: 227px;\" data-mce-style=\"border: hidden; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 5px width: 555px; height: 227px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 25px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" data-mce-style=\"margin-left: 25px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cem style=\"font-size: 11px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003eAvoid applying perfumes or creams directly.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cem style=\"font-size: 11px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003eAvoid contact with water, as it can react with leather and metals, causing discoloration and structural damage.
