Gemini's Gods and Myths
Gemini's chief god is Mercry / Hermes. Mercury was a trickster, but he was very wise too. Credited with inventing the alphabet, numbers, music and astronomy, he was also the protector of merchants, travellers and thieves.On the day he was born, Mercury invented and learned to play the lyre. On the same day he angered Apollo by stealing his cows. Even though Mercury denied having taken them, Apollo suspected hi right away. He forgave him, however, due to being so charmed by gift of music.
Of course, the most well-known symbol for Gemini is that of the twins. There are many stories involving twins where one is good and the other evil (think Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde). To the Greeks, the twins were the mortal Castor and immortal Polydeuces (also known by his Roman name, Pollux). Pollux insisted on sharing his immortality with his brother when Castor was killed, and thereafter, the twins alternated between the realm of the gods and the Underworld.
