Pollux

Pollux (or Polydeuces) was one half of Dioscuri with 
his twin half-brother Castor. His mother was the princess 
Leda, whom he shared with Castor. Pollux and Castor had 
different fathers, though. Pollux, though, was the son of Zeus, 
who disguised himself as a swan in order to seduce Leda, 
making Pollux a demigod, unlike his human brother. Pollux 
features alongside his brother in most of Mythology. Pollux 
and Castor fought alongside Jason in his search for the 
Golden Fleece. They also helped Jason to bring down the 
city of Ioclus to punish King Pelias for his treason. The 
brothers helped to hunt the Calydonian Boar. When Theseus, 
the king of Attica, kidnapped their sister Helen, the brothers 
rescued her and kidnapped Theseus’s mother, forcing her to 
become Helen’s slave as an act of revenge. He kidnapped his 
cousin Phoebe 2, married her and had a son named, 
Mnasinus.
