Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cult of the Heavenly Twins A small and apparently restricted subject has grown more pidly to a large and varied one than the enquiry into the meaning of the third sign of the Zodiac, which goes by the name of the Heavenly Twins. The average man's knowledge about them would probably be nearly the same as that of a schoolboy who understands that one section of the Zodiac is marked by two bright companion stars, whose names are individually Castor and Pollux, and collectively Gemini, the Twins; and that Castor and Pollux are a couple of deified heroes, whose chief achievement on earth was to win the battle of the Lake Regillus for the Romans, and so to furnish material for one of Macaulay's spirited Lays of Ancient Rome. Beyond that, all is a blank; the schoolboy may indeed be closer involved than he knows with the history of the Twins; his ejaculations may sometimes take the form by jiminy without his recognizing that an appeal is being made, in a forcible manner, to the Twins as the guardians of public faith and the avengers of acts of perjury but even if he had recognized the connexion between his own slang and the ancient piety, it would probably be some time before he detected the reason for the connexion in the portions of the ancient Roman history and literature which it was his duty to read. When, however, we examine the legends of the Twins more closely, passing over from the Roman world to the Greek world and so to the further East, and the Indian literature, the qualities.

Download or read book The Twin Horse Gods written by Henry John Walker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twin deities known by the ancient Greeks as the Dioskouroi, and by the Romans as the Gemini, were popular figures in the classical world. They were especially connected with youth, low status and service, and were embraced by the common people in a way that eluded those gods associated with regal magnificence or the ruling classes. Despite their popularity, no dedicated study has been published on the horse gods for over a hundred years. Henry John Walker here addresses this neglect. His comparative study traces the origins, meanings and applications of the twin divinities to social and ritual settings in Greece, Vedic India (where the brothers named Castor and Pollux were revered as Indo-European gods called the Asvins), Etruria and classical Rome. He demonstrates, for example, that since the Dioskouroi were regarded as being halfway between gods and men, so young Spartans - undergoing a fierce and rigorous military training - saw themselves as standing midway between animal and human. Such creative interpretations of the myth thus played a central role in the culture and society of antiquity.

Download or read book Gemini and the Sacred written by Kimberley C. Patton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do twins remain uncanny to those born alone-in other words, most of us? Even with the rise of IVF and an increase in multiple births, why do we still do “a double take” when we encounter twins? Why has this been a near-universal response throughout human history, and how has it played out in religion and myth? Through the work of leading scholars in religion, folklore and mythology, history, anthropology, and archaeology, Gemini and the Sacred explores how twinship has long been imagined, especially in the complex relationship of sacred twin traditions to “twins on the ground” in biology and lived experience. The book considers the multiple ways in which the “doubling” of a human being may be interpreted as auspicious and powerful-or suppressed as unstable and dangerous. Why has this been so and how does it affect living twins today? Treating both famous and lesser-known twins-including supernatural animal twins-in the ancient Near Eastern and classical Mediterranean worlds; early Christianity and Gnosticism; Vedic, Hindu, West African, Black Atlantic, and native American traditions; ancient Mesoamerica, Celtic Roman Britain, and Scandinavia; and in the special, fraught bond shared by all twins, the book offers a variety of perspectives on this topic of great cultural significance.
