Pollux
Immortal Spartan twin
Pollux is a star in the constellation Gemini, the brighter of the twin stars that give the constellation its name.
In Greek mythology, Pollux was one of the Dioscuri—twin sons of Zeus—inseparable from his brother Castor.
The pair appear together in astronomy, navigation, and classical references: Castor and Pollux guided sailors through storms.
